As Chicago and the country grapple with the fallout from George Floyd’s killing, Cardinal Blase Cupich said he plans to use this pivotal moment as a teaching tool for the Archdiocese of Chicago’s students in the fall. In an in-person interview at the rectory at Holy Name Cathedral, Cupich said the archdiocese’s goal is to have all Catholic school students participate in a discussion about Floyd’s killing and its aftermath Correction*

Please be sure to tell the kiddies how Georgie stuck a gun into the belly of a pregnant black woman - - while his homeys rifled her house and stole her money.
Also tell them how he overdosed on a lethal combination of fentanyl and methamphetamines - - while the police followed the proper procedure by preventing him from killing himself sooner by flailing around and causing immediate heart failure.
And be sure to tell the kids not to be career criminals - - and live a completely useless life - - and die at age 46 without ever having accomplished a single positive thing.
You'll be sure to tell them that - - won't you?

Are they going to mention that this death and so many similar deaths seem to happen ONLY in Democrat-run Communities?
Didn't think so...

There's already a St. George, IIRC.

The church is afraid it'll get burned out. They are submitting.

What are they going to discuss first, how stuffing multiple harmful substances into your body can turn you into a weak, blubbering idiot who tries to use counterfeit money to buy more substances? If I hadn't already written off the Catholic Church I would be offering them my opinion. How many George Floyd Boulevards are we going to see popping up in the burned out areas of democrat infested cities this year? Yes, this whole sad sequence of events is worthy of discussion but they will not dare discuss the real causes for fear of offending you-know-who.

They certainly don't want to teach about the death and destruction that occurs weekly in Chicago's neighborhoods. Let's point a finger somewhere else and ignore the problem in their backyard.

I graduated St Clement grade school there in 1963. If the nuns that taught me were alive today they’d take a giant yardstick to that idiot cardinal guy!
Enough of this honoring of a thug!

I’ll just add this to the list of reasons why I no longer attend mass. And I quit going long before Covid. It started with the communist in the Vatican and his cozying up to Muslims.

#9 It's getting tougher for me every day, but the Church has suffered from bad leadership before and survived.
When they start letting homosexuals get married in the Church I am gone.

Yeh, and the Pope started this crap in the last week. As a Catholic and American, I would like to advise the Bishop (and the Pope) that calling America racist is a sin.
8th Commandment prohibits false witness. I don't care if you call that propaganda or 'education', it's false.

The cause of his death is an atrocity, but be sure to include the tox report.

The forced apologies by all white students to any non-white person will not be required. For now.

Cardinal Cupich should thoroughly research George Floyd's background before entering his biography into the curriculum of Chicago's Catholic schools, but then the Cardinal, himself, is compromised. Why doesn't the Cardinal introduce the story of a truly innocent victim, Jesus Christ.

Floyd was not killed. He died of a heart attack.

I have a very devout Catholic friend who told me a year ago that the Chicago archdiocese was one of the worst in the Church for the gay mafia and leftism. This article confirms what she said.

What next a symbolic gesture of washing black feet? Give me a break this is disgusting so is the person being honored although a tragedy keep it out of the schools this is fanning the flames. Next on the curriculum 'what is white privilege and how to stomp it out. This is all sickening along with disturbing.

Will they teach that he died of "Excited Delirium", a real medical condition triggered by adrenaline when on multiple illegal drugs, which caused a heart attack? Or will they teach the Ben Crump fictionalized version where none of the narrative lines up with any of the physical facts?

Here is a list of American Catholic men and women that the students ought to study
Augustus Tolton - the first black priest in the United States
Pierre Toussaint - a Haitian slave who became a wealthy philanthropist
Henriette de Lille - founded the Sisters of the Holy Family in New Orleans
Mary Lange - Founded the Oblate Sisters of Providence
James Healy - first black Catholic bishop in the United States
Patrick Healy - President of Georgetown
Michael Healy - served in the Revenue Cutter Service and was the federal government's law officer in the Alaska territory
and more currently
Kobe Bryant - outstanding basketball player who overcame sin and will be remembered as a wonderful family man, good father and devout in his faith.
Any of these people are much more interesting than a third rate thug.
