Catholic School Kicks Out Students for Being ‘Too Patriotic’

It turns out the biblical verse ‘Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself,’ does not apply in a Catholic school in California, and patriotism must adhere to the guidelines and principles set by the school.

Last May, a 13-year-old student, Jimmy Heyward, of St. Bonaventure Catholic School in Huntington Beach, was in line to give his campaign speech for commissioner of patriotism and school spirit; however, the school’s principal, Mary Flock, determined his message did not go with school principles.

So, instead of allowing him to deliver his message, Flock made Heyward sit and watch other speeches. For a 13-year-old boy, this was “humiliating.”

He wasn’t able to deliver his speech because the school told him to take out “all parts about patriotism” or he wouldn’t be allowed to speak.

Heyward told KTTV-TV, “I didn’t remove the patriotic part of the speech; that’s the most important part. I’m not removing it.”

He decided to perform and upload the full video online, in which he recited an “America First” speech and referred to President Donald Trump’s campaign slogan and messages.

Jimmy, who delivered his speech in front of his home with his little sister holding a “Make SBS (St. Bonaventure School) Great Again” placard, remarked: “Sadly, some people take citizenship for granted. Whether it is disrespecting the people who protect us or eating nachos during the national anthem at a sporting event.”

“I will make spirit great again. I will make SBS great again,” Jimmy ended.

The SBS waited until the school year was over before notifying the Heyward family that they booted out Jimmy and his two younger sisters, saying they had decided to “terminate your family’s enrollment from St. Bonaventure.”

Jimmy and his sisters had to look for a new school.

In response to the request for comments, the SBS replied, “St. Bonaventure Catholic School remains committed to the principles outlined in our Christian Code of Conduct and Parent Handbook. To that end, we expect all parents and students to uphold these standards, which are crucial to developing a respectful and supportive school community for all.”

Despite the SBS’ claims that they are a “school community for all,” their so-called ‘Christian Code of Conduct’ does not welcome all views and opinions.

“Seeing how they just kind of wrote us off and thrown the girls in with it as well, I don’t think that’s a good environment to be sending my children to,” said Hattie Ruggles, Jimmy’s mother.

“We’ve just told the truth from day one, Jimmy’s truth. And that’s it. We’re not smearing anything.”


Donald Trump sacrificed a life of luxury to be convicted in a fake trial, with a rigged jury, a communist judge, a communist DA, a communist state AG, a Communist Governor, a communist DOJ, and a dictator living in the White House.
