Catholic school sued for expelling students

Contrary to popular belief, private schools are not above the law.

I attended some that thought they were, but they're not.

If you pay money for a service, you have a right to expect that service to be delivered. Similarly, if you pay tuition, you should be able to expect an education.

A Catholic school in Delray Beach, Florida, is now being sued by the parents of students who were expelled. The expulsions seem to be retaliation against parents who questioned the parish's financial practices.

This follows a scandal in which 2 priests were accused of stealing millions of dollars in church funds (including money from the collection plate). One of the clergymen allegedly spent almost $300,000 of this money to buy rare coins.
