A Couple Other Things About Holy Spirit High School

An ancient nun taught my junior year American history class. Her name was Sister Laurita (sp?) and she was almost 600 years old. She was a mean old lady.

I remember two things about her history class.

1) She taught us that Nixon had been tried and convicted by the press and had done nothing wrong.

2) One day, she was very angry at the class for talking too much or something and she yelled at us for a long time. Then, to punctuate her diatribe, she walked to the back of the classroom where my friend John and I sat and said:

"... Don't think I don't smell the marijuana you two smoke back here."

We were like, "WTF?" before WTF had even been invented.


In science class, I remember being taught about evolution and told that it doesn't necessarily contradict Catholic teachings. Pretty weird that we've gotten to the point over the last 20 years where public schools are teaching kids whatever bullshit they're calling creationism as an "alternative theory" to evolution.

If I had kids, I'd be pretty pissed at that nonsense. I'm pissed now, on behalf of other people's children.
