A beloved principal at a south suburban Catholic elementary school was fired this week for his pushback on the church’s COVID-19 mask requirement.
After serving for more than four decades as an Archdiocese of Chicago educator, a beloved principal at a south suburban Catholic elementary school was fired this week for his pushback on the church’s COVID-19 mask requirement, which was lifted last week.
“I told him I would welcome him back but that, in my view, he needed to take some fair and reasonable steps that would repair the breach his actions created in our parish and school community, as well as with our sister schools in the Archdiocese,” Marren’s letter said. “At this time there are approximately 163 schools run by the good folks on Rush Street. If you believe that undertaking an action that will ultimately lead to the closure of our school, your message will be lost as they move forward in management of those many other schools that remain,” Mathius’s post said.
