Supporting the contributions of Catholic schools in the United States and celebrating the 50th annual "National Catholic Schools Week".
Impact
If enacted, HR985 would officially recognize the contributions of Catholic schools during National Catholic Schools Week, promoting awareness and appreciation for their role in the educational landscape. The resolution encourages appreciation for the efforts of Catholic schools in serving students from various socioeconomic backgrounds, thereby reinforcing the notion that access to quality education should be inclusive. The resolution also recognizes the high graduation rates of students in Catholic high schools, insinuating a positive correlation between Catholic education and academic success.
Summary
HR985 is a resolution supporting the contributions of Catholic schools in the United States and celebrating the 50th annual 'National Catholic Schools Week'. This bill acknowledges the significant role that Catholic schools play in providing education to approximately 1.7 million students across diverse backgrounds. It emphasizes the importance of academic excellence and moral development in shaping students into dedicated individuals who value faith and community service. Furthermore, the bill highlights the positive contributions of Catholic schools to both students and society, particularly noting their commitment to inclusivity and affordability in education.
Contention
While HR985 primarily serves as a resolution of support, not all discussions have been entirely positive. Critics may argue about the allocation of public resources and attention to private religious educational institutions, as taxpayers support public education systems. There may also be concerns about the implications of endorsing specific religious education over secular education, as public policy decisions can impact the balance of educational funding and resources. However, as a resolution, it does not carry the weight of legislation that could directly alter current education policies.
