What risks are incurred in indoctrinating students in a Private Catholic Boarding Schools?
Understand the fact that this is a religious schools and is outside the jurisdiction of the government. This is a private institution and are not subject to the same laws applicable to its public counterpart. However, there may be some trouble when a certain view is forced upon a student who does not share the same faith as the establishment. Going to a Catholic School does not mean one must abide by the teachings of the sect. Therefore, it is alarming when the views of this establishment is forced to a student. For the most part, one should always be allowed to say ‘no.’ What I mean by this is that a student should have the option of opting out of a certain activity if they feel that it is not in compliance with their moral values. Furthermore, there is a certain amount of rigidity in the core curriculum of such schools. It cannot be avoided when the school requires taking ‘Religious’ classes. Yet I firmly believe that one should not have to if one feels that it is not beneficial for him or her.
