鈥淲hen a Catholic school 鈥� yes, a Catholic school 鈥� wants to teach the Catholic teachings and act in a Catholic manner towards situations, this seems to be a big issue for the minority of people to understand.

鈥淲e as Christians don鈥檛 have anything against different types of people. All we say is keep us out of it. Stop trying to brainwash our children and cause confusion for the next generation of Catholics.鈥�

“We don鈥檛 care if you want to go and be whatever you want to be, but don鈥檛 try and force it upon us and drag us along with you. If you鈥檙e not into all the Catholic teachings, then don鈥檛 go to a Catholic school. No one is forcing parents to stand there and send their children to certain schools,” Doueihi added on the show.
