Immigration Debate in Catholic High Schools

Immigration Debate in Catholic High Schools August 31, 2007

It was to be expected. Political debates tend to trickle down into school discussions.

Therefore, it is not surprising to hear about a high school class having a heated debate on America’s immigration crisis. Nor is it surpising, in the middle of the debate, racist remarks would be made.

What is sad and unexpected is that a student of a Catholic High School would end the debate chanting “White power.” Such was the case in Holy Family High School in Broomfield, Colorado.

Apparently the discussion began when a student  asked why they were learning Spanish.
