• When is a Christian School Just a Segregation Academy? The Case of Archbishop Riordan High in San Francisco (The Stream, 11/4/21) 

"Clearly, the school is not accomplishing its most basic mission as a Christian academy. So in fact it’s doing little but shelter its students from the diversity of local secular public schools. In other words, it’s more of a segregation academy embodying privilege than a Christian academy. Is that a mission for the Catholic church to endorse? If the kids at the school so utterly reject basic biblical morals, let them go enjoy the tender mercies of blue-state secular schools & their morals."
