What does one do?
The announcement that the band director at Bishop Ireton High School (run by the Salesians for the Diocese of Arlington and a most desirable job for a band guy) is retiring after 30+ years at the school makes me ask:
What happens if, as an employee in a Catholic high school, one encounters false or un-Catholic teaching in one's colleagues or un-Catholic leadership in one's administrators? Things at BI (or any other Catholic high school) may be fine and dandy right now, making the pay cut one would take to be able to work there seem inconsequential, but it dosen't take long for things to go downhill. Have you ever been in this situation?
I work in the public school system and expect things to be secular. I think I would just die if I were teaching in a Catholic school and encountered the same problem.
