minus-squareParagone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down1·5 months agoI remember seeing a clip of an ItalianAmerican comedian in NY… He asked the audience if anyone-there had gone to Catholic school… …some hands went up… He asked those if they remember the names of the nuns teaching in that school… …names like “Lefty” & “Knuckles”… …camera showed people in the audience nodding… iirc, a nun in the Catholic grade-school I was in, broke one boy’s arm, when she flipped his desk on him. Catholic school values had nothing, whatsoever, to do with the religion of Catholicism’s root-guru. The “Residential Schools” that we forced on the Indigenous children, with their super-high suicide-rates, were a whole category worse, too. : \ _ /\ _
