A friend posted this letter written by a Rockhurst teacher that was fired. I think it’s a pretty amazing call.
Rockhurst is a Catholic boys high school here in KC.

This is James Gillchrist, an Iraq war veteran and teacher. He was just fired from Rockhurst High School, a private school in Kansas City, for speaking out against Donald Trump.
REPOST if you stand with Gillchrist as he speaks truth to power!

The Anderson brothers are joining a long list of shitty white men that went to Rockhurst High School not living up to school’s mantra of ‘men for others.’
Brutal column in the Kansas City Star about a local real estate company trying to avoid public scrutiny for selling ICE a property for a massive prison camp:

Rockhurst, more of your graduates doing un Catholic things. Perhaps the Pope would be interested in why your graduates and members of Visitation Parish are selling to ICE to create a concentration camp in your city?

All of the men in my family graduated from Rockhurst, but they all have moral centers and turned out fine.

From the epic Central-Raytown sold out match-up in 1995 to last night’s Rockhurst game against Shawnee Mission East, it is always a delight seeing Municipal Auditorium as the home for big time high school and college hoops.

There are going to be a lot more Jimbo Gillchrists, especially in the coming months, at Catholic schools.
Fun Fact: I was on SGA in college with the Rockhurst President.

What Jimbo Gillcrist said in class was in no way neutral. But then, neither are the Gospels.
And unless we just go ahead and admit that what Matthew 25 says about care for the stranger is no longer operative, I don't know how you’d teach Catholic ethics now without talking about mass deportation.
