Nun 1, Santorum 0

Nun smacks Rick Santorum’s knuckles with a ruler, calls him a bold brazen article in this letter to the editor:
As a teacher for the Diocese of Pittsburgh for 14 years, one important lesson I learned was that no matter what I said to the child, whatever the parents said superseded my message. What parents say and how they live sends a message stronger than any teacher’s voice no matter what the issue.
Sen. Rick Santorum and his wife have taught their children a powerful lesson on civic responsibility by refusing to pay any tuition money to the Penn Hills School District for their children who attended the Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School (”Penn Hills Loses Bid to Charge Santorum,” July 12). Released from that payment on a technicality shows that even an upstanding, moral gentleman like Sen. Santorum teaches his children the following lessons:
1) Take advantage of the system whenever you can.
2) The little guy pays while the rich and powerful guy gets away with it.
3) As a Catholic, you have no obligation to pay your share to the common good in spite of Catholic social doctrine.
Finally, I am shocked that our religious leaders who see Sen. Santorum as some sort of faith-and-morals hero have not spoken up on this issue at all.

You go, girl! [Via Duncan.]
That was brilliant! I wonder if it’ll make Ricky go to confession.
Nah!!
Amen, Sister!
So- same-sex marriage is immoral, but cheating is ok. Nice.
Slam. And dunk.
Santorum is so ovah.
When the NUNS go after you, that ’s it…
In my experience with nuns, they always taught unforgettable lessons. Hopefully, her letter will resonate with other people. Pennsylvania has a large Catholic population and her letter will be taken to heart. Right on, Sister!
She’s good.

Being from the Pittsburgh Area, I can reassure all of you that we have not forgotten about Santorum stealing education.
