As a proud Catholic, I know the impact that faith-based education can have in our society and have witnessed it first hand in my district.

In America our public schools are intended to be religiously neutral. Our teachers and schools are neither to endorse nor to inhibit religion. I believe this is a very good thing.

The public school has become the established church of secular society.

I think one of the unique aspects of Catholic school education is the opportunity to care for the material and intellectual needs of the child in a community atmosphere.

I believe that religious faith schools are highly dubious.

The public schools tend to teach little kids from when they are very young about the whole universe without God and that God cannot be in science. They are indoctrinating children in an atheistic religious view of things.

I did attend Catholic schools up to the ninth grade, and I admire much in the Catholic Church.

I went to Catholic school throughout my whole academic life. In fact, my children - my husband and I and our children in my own family now have over 100 years of Catholic education among us.

I'm convinced many of America's heroes are public school teachers and administrators. Many of these people do what they do because of their faith.

Education should be totally secular. I am not telling people not to believe in God, but it should be a personal matter which should be done at home.
