Atheist dad tries to keep son from attending Catholic school

OK, we’re not exactly champions of religion, but we do believe in free choice. So, we definitely side with the teenager who wanted to go to a Catholic high school, despite his father’s objections. Seems like a judge agrees:

Oldham County family court Judge Tim Feeley said in a ruling published Monday that 14-year-old Michael Ryan can attend St. Xavier High School because that’s where he wants to go.

His divorced parents disagreed over whether their son should go to the religious school, which his mother Susan Bisig wanted.

David Ryan’s lawsuit argued that the state’s Constitution says no one can be “compelled to send his child to any school to which he may be conscientiously opposed.”
