President Obama Says Catholic Schools Encourage Divisions

President Obama recently said, during his Ireland trip, that towns will remain divided if Catholics have their schools and others have theirs. Why would he say such a thing about faith based schools? In America, we have choice on just about everything, including where to educate our children. Is the President saying that by eliminating faith based schools, people are brought together? Does this make any sense to you?

Do you believe that parochial schools cause a divide of any sort? Leave your answer in the comments section.
