This is a First Amendment issue. The school has the right to follow its religious principles.

I mean, he’s a male band director. No one should be surprised he turned out to be gay. Aren’t all male band directors at least somewhat gay?

Nothing brings out the haters more than a thread on NOLA or Catholicism.
Now that we have a thread on Catholicism in NOLA this may go on forever.

That's always been a problem at SFX, a lot of the boys left in 5th grade to go to Christian Brothers. Unfortunately, we didn't do that with our son. He had like 6 other boys in his class. They definitely focused more on the girls than the boys.


Honestly I think the Christian Brothers model of separating the boys and girls in middle school should be enacted on a larger scale. Imo the school system in general is a problem bc it expects little boys to suppress their normal rambunctious nature so they can be more easily managed in class.

You understand that Protestant churches also have problems with Pastors and sexual sins? I linked an article in this thread.

100%. This isn’t a problem limited to SFX. I went to St. Ann and can remember my dad not being happy about how they treated the boys. This was decades ago


IMO the boys high schools should start in 6th grade. Boys need to be in a different environment in general.

Its a religious school. Homosexuality is a sin. He practices it. He cant work there, any more than you could serve pork chops for lunch at a Madrassa.

There's a good chance the priest at the school is gay as well. Most of them are.


The issue with the band director isn’t that he’s attracted to males. It’s that he is openly living a gay lifestyle, had a “husband”, etc.

If you find a Catholic priest who openly has a “husband” and is still allowed to serve as a priest, go to the news with that bombshell.

Bunch of fig lovers here. Boomers and Gen X are embarrassing. Millennials too.

Y'all ruined this country by being tolerant of so many people. Allow the perverts to run our schools, import the 3rd World into our country. Mortgage our future for yours. Gross.

Thankfully Gen Z is more based then you profligates.

check out that story I posted about that evangelical mega church pastor who molested a 12 year old girl and then accused her of being a slut who came on to him

Just did. Speechless but not shocked in the least. Thank you for posting that.

you are overly emotional, lol. He didn’t make any personal judgements about his lifestyle. What he said was correct. He put himself in that position. Why would he want to work at an institution that doesn’t think his lifestyle is morally right?

Alleged facts not in evidence.

Just because he claimed it was known, doesn't mean it was.

Unfortunately, the school takes the brunt of the blame for a situation they had no real control over. The archdiocese made the call. I was sympathetic towards mark richards until he decided to go to every media outlet in the city and drag the school through the mud knowing it wasn’t the schools decision.



So you care more about the institution (the Catholic Church no less) over the man whose life was upended by a busybody Karen?

Who is he in your post?

Homosexuality is morally wrong.
