Suppose you were hiring a new superintendent for your diocesan school system. Whom would you select?
(a) A longtime Catholic schoolteacher.
(b) A Catholic business leader conspicuous for his fidelity to the teaching of the Church.
(c) A retired public school superintendent who (according to a former colleague) "sees public schools as more qualified than anyone-- including private or charter or other similar schools-- to provide what students need for the future" and who donated $300 to Hilary Rodham Clinton for US Senate Committee, Inc.
If you're the Diocese of Syracuse, your answer is (c).

The pandering of chancery education officials toward public education goes back to at least the 1960s when there was a push to have parochial schools accredited by the state. Even in good dioceses these problems are systemic; e.g., the diocese of Lincoln NB, permits or requires the DARE program in its schools.
