ACSP: Atheists for Church support of the poor!
So now all South Carolinians are forced to subsidize the cost of tuition at private Roman Catholic Schools. Even if we are Baptist and oppose giving money to the Catholic Church because we find its religious teachings objectionable. Isn’t that great!
First of all, families of children who attend private schools still have to pay taxes for public schools. They are “forced to subsidize the cost” of public school even if they “oppose” attending them.
Second of all, the scholarships awarded by this fund go to families who have a child with Special Needs that attends a private school and who are under financial burden. The child need not be Catholic to attend a Catholic school, although most are. Parents choose to send their child to private school because they generally have a much better and more individualized Special Education Program. The funds will help ensure that the Special Needs child will be able to continue advancing in an especially nurturing environment. Grow a heart and have some compassion.
Shame on you for using the ‘Baptist v Catholic’ feud to try to shed a negative light on this innovative SFO. Both are Christians, regardless of denomination. Anyone with morals should be happy to hear that this fund is helping reduce the financial burden of families with a Special Needs child. They already have to bear the huge additional costs of physical/occupational therapy, medicines, etc..
Who is this Acquilano guy? I’ve been a Catholic in this diocese for years and I’ve never heard of him. I don’t think he’s even a lawyer (can’t find his name listed as admitted to the SC bar); but I know for a fact that he’s not the legal/general counsel for the Diocese of Charleston. That’s Pete Shahid: http://www.shahidlawoffice.com/About_Us.htm. Sounds a bit like unauthorized practice of law to me…
Makes you wonder what else is inaccurate about this story…or what comes out of the Diocese. He should be reported for UPL.
