Guess who else went to a religious high School!


Goebbels was educated at a Christian Gymnasium, where he completed his Abitur (university entrance examination) in 1917. He was the top student of his class and was given the traditional honour to speak at the awards ceremony. His parents initially hoped that he would become a Catholic priest, and Goebbels seriously considered it.

That's right: Hitler. The inevitable conclusion being: the OP is an unrepentant Nazi.

It's a damn shame.

My mother and all of her sisters and brother went to Catholic schools. Their parents, my grandparents went to the same schools. My mother taught her entire career in Catholic schools, she was one of my teachers in high school. My daughter is set to go to preschool at a local catholic elementary school.

So we are all Nazis?

Almost all my serious relationships have been with Catholics.

They’ve been a few exceptions, but it’s still funny.

I was raised by an Agnostic and an Atheist, baptized Church of England lol.

my high school, and I was quiet and shy back then, not in any cliques either. My high school was the total opposite of Covington.

I think the OP cast too wide a net. My upbringing was southern baptist, the religion of segregation, but I am open to all cultures and evaluate people on whether they changed if they had past mistakes, or on what they show me of their character in the present.

Into your nazi list as well then. It must make my children Hitler Youth since they both attend parochial school.

What does it say about the 68.7% of children at the school my son attends who are POC or 1st generation immigrants?

than those at the public school I'd come from.

But I don't make generalizations about either public or private schools based on my personal experience -- or anyone else's.

From their website:
