St. Francis Xavier School students and their families walk together in Newark, on Thursday, Aug. 6, 2020, after discussing the Catholic school's permanent closure announced the previous week by the Archdiocese of Newark. Nationwide, more than 140 Catholic schools will not reopen in the fall.
The pace of closures has been relentless since March. Within the past month, Catholic leaders have announced the shuttering of five schools in Newark, New Jersey, and 26 in the New York City area. “It is a complete travesty how the Brooklyn Diocese can shut down schools within a pandemic and with less than two months’ notice,” parent Javier Cortes wrote in an online post about the closure of Queen of the Rosary Catholic Academy. “Treating children like this is NOT the Catholic thing to do!”“I was part of the first graduating class and now I walked out of there hysterical in tears,” said Hope Wilson, who attended the school as a child and later taught there for 30 years.
At the National Catholic Educational Association, there’s acute concern about the closures’ consequences.

Good ! Keep religion out of schools. Send your kids to church if you must indoctrinate them early with your belief.

IngrahamAngle Watch 'More of Dr. Buttar concerning masks' on YouTube
IngrahamAngle Damn shame. They have educated millions of kids while paying taxes to support public schools and paying tuition . Plus it taught children things that public schools cannot touch like being a decent person with a belief in God
IngrahamAngle School choice now. Power to the parents.
IngrahamAngle ☹️☹️☹️👎👎👎😡😡😡
IngrahamAngle That stinks
IngrahamAngle I fear that is what 'the left' wants.....prevent religion and freedoms from surviving.
IngrahamAngle Lower your damn tuition!
Good. I hope they all shut down.
IngrahamAngle We must pray the rosary
MaryFass3 How about support from Rome?
IngrahamAngle Cause suddenly the Catholic Church has no money ? Is that what you're trying to say ? The richest organization in the world that pays no taxes needs a federal bailout ? 🤔
IngrahamAngle I see a lot of tweets that don't agree the Catholic schools have no money. Keep in mind the church has spent millions taking care of child abusing priest for a very long time and most likely still do. Maybe nuns also?
IngrahamAngle God is still in Control! He still sits on the Throne& He still answers prayer! Pray without ceasing for our President Trump and our One Nation Under God! Keep the Faith!🙏🏻🇺🇸
IngrahamAngle moron commenters act as if public schools are indoctrinating kids with leftist 'religion'.
IngrahamAngle BetsyDeVosED MarkMeadows POTUS Mike_Pence WhiteHouse stevenmnuchin1 kayleighmcenany SBAJovita KellyannePolls Hundreds of Catholic Schools across the country need help from Federal Govt or will likely have to close forever. Trump Admin should step in& help them ASAP☝️
IngrahamAngle I don’t believe much of anything from the AP Even if it’s a reasonable story
IngrahamAngle Maybe if the Catholic's did not condone Child Molestations and had to make court ordered astronomical monetary settlements they would have a rainy day fund that could help with the school closures
IngrahamAngle And? Survival of the fittest - isn’t that your sick mantra
IngrahamAngle Terrible
IngrahamAngle So socialism. Giving government money to a non tax paying institution. But infusing money into underfunded public schools is bad socialism?
IngrahamAngle Ohio Republicans against Trump: He no longer deserves the consent of the governed
IngrahamAngle Do catholic entities pay taxes? If not they aren’t entitled to federal money
IngrahamAngle Sorry. Separation of church & state
IngrahamAngle
IngrahamAngle They can send money from the Vatican. They have enough to move and cover for child rapists they can fund their schools.
IngrahamAngle The (AP) has been lying to me for decades !
IngrahamAngle The Government sure wasn't teaching them
IngrahamAngle What if the Catholic Church is a major player in this great political ploy?
IngrahamAngle Good they teach false doctrine anyways.
IngrahamAngle China gave the world the Corona Virus and now they developed the vaccine to sell it to billions people around the world and make billions dollars Already in phase -3 of testing on humans in UAE. We request UNO that make CCP liable to donate this vaccine to world not do business.
IngrahamAngle This is a goal of democrats and teachers unions.
The demand is there, i.e. Children. Now provide the service. i.e. schools, private teaching 'clubs,' group 'tutor' meetings....there is money to be made and children and families to be helped. WE ARE NOT HELPLESS against The State.
IngrahamAngle
IngrahamAngle So you’re saying public school sports teams aren’t having to play stacked teams as much ...
IngrahamAngle Businesses should be ignoring these non-science based restrictions. COVID is out. It's not going away. It kills but not nearly as many as LEGAL cigarettes, obesity, & cars. Hospitals are ready. It's unconstitutional to force private schools to be closed. Fight back.
IngrahamAngle Federal support? Federal tax money for religious schools? NO! Let them ask the Vatican for money!
IngrahamAngle Support them.
Having gone to a Catholic school, I can say this means many religious parents may be forced into the dire situation of sending their children to a place where they will get a non-abstinence only sex education, which may result in an appalling lack of teen pregnancy.
Hmmmm, a tax exempt organization asking for federal aid? Seems somehow wrong....
A private religious school want fed money nope.
He Felicia
Federal support is my tax money. And I am against Catholic schools on principle. Separation of church and state is a sound concept.
DAILY COST FOR A PRISONER : $115 DAILY COST FOR A SCHOOLBOY: $ 30 MAKE SCHOOLS ACCESSIBLE ALL ROUND YEAR & FOR ALL AUDIENCES American Congress estimates the amount of PUBLIC MONEY stolen by TAX EVASION in USA at $ 5ooo BILLION/year TAX EVASION is a SOCIAL CRIME
Good! Fewer Catholic schools equals less child abuse. No federal dollars for them also equals less waste. Next, start fully taxing these political agencies.
I thought they were protected by the blood of their white Jesus? 😏
Those schools with limited funds cannot overcome the China Virus, liberal lawyer lawsuits, and the Dems teacher union assaults. Children are the losers. SchoolChoice MAGA2020LandslideVictory
Let that evil pedophile club burned down!
You mean GOP support. They only support themselves or you have to supplicate your self forever.
Well, someone should tap into the gross wealth of the Vatican!!!
When they pay taxes equal to or above their bailouts I’m fine with it.
What recourse does the American Public have if the government somehow gets talking into financially supporting a corrupt religious organization that protects pedophiles?
Teachers unions rejoice.
No money for the Church of the Holy Molesters!
Never mind the decades of psychological damage
No need for federal support.
Where’s the story on our struggling public schools?
You're about to see separation of church and state first hand.
Are kidding me? The Catholic Church has been “taking” from the poor (and wealthy for a thousand years) How about you sell a Robe or Chalice and feed the hungry while your at it!!! This disgusts me! Ps I was raised Catholic so don’t even try!
hmm 🤔 I wonder where the money is going... Depopulation agenda UN ClimateChange can someone ask JeffBezo GlobalCities BillGates ChristianaFigueres ? MikeBloomberg Agenda2030
Good
Please publicize and you may save someone's life. This Dem NYC Councilman says so.
Good. Close all those brain washing factories.
Thoughts and prayers
Good
Countless kids will be spared from pedophile priests.
Rich bastards. I don't give a fuck
Catholic schools shouldn't be using fed funds to begin with.
HELP ME!!!!!!!! 6 MONTHS OF NO FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE!!!!!! NOT A PENNY!!!!!! YOU WANT MY VOTE THEN HELP ME!!!!!!
Fear fear fear
MaizyDaizyZzzz Religious schools need to go - this is nothing but good news - they have no place in the 21st Century.
Separation of church and state! Y'all a private school that doesnt have to follow any federal regulation and your churches dont pay taxes. Talk to the Vatican. Maybe theres some money left over after all the asphalt and rape settlements they've had to pay out.
Call the Vatican. That have more money than God .
Sell some items from the Vatican. Filthy rich.. No taxpayer bailout.
Like the ap cares about catholic schools 😂😂😂😂😂
Then pay taxes lime everyone else.. .otherwise you you should rely on you rich Vatican brothers in crime.
Good...
That whole 'separate church and state' thing...
Good. Maybe this will force parents to confront the problems in the public school system instead of running away to a Catholic school.
Good, close the facist farms.

Good.
Wow Republicans are winning
