I was asking you if they taught you to shun public sinners.

Certainly, the teaching is in the Baltimore Catechism.

And in the act of contrition in which we say avoid all near occasions of sin.
meaning person, place, and thing.

In which of the Baltimore catechisms and where, exactly?

The admonition to avoid the near occasion of sin is how the Act of Contrition ends, the version that was used in Franciscan parochial schools in the 1960's.

I don't recall seeing it in the Baltimore Catechism, but maybe it's in there.

St Teresa of Avila had this to say about the Our Father, I believe this applies in this occasion.

Chapter 27 “Our Father”
 Teresa pauses on the first word “our.”
 How generous is Jesus to include us in the “our” showing that he truly sees us as his brothers and sisters.
“O Son of God and my Lord! How is it that Thou canst give us so much with Thy first word? It is so wonderful that Thou shouldst descend to such a degree of humility as to join with us when we pray and make Thyself the Brother of creatures so miserable and lowly! ….. Thou dost oblige Him to fulfill Thy word, a charge by no means light, since, being our Father, He must bear with us, however great our offenses. If we turn to Him, He must pardon us, as He pardoned the prodigal son, must comfort us in our trials, and must sustain us, as such a Father is bound to do, for he must needs be better than any earthly father, since nothing good can fail to have its perfection in Him. He must cherish us; he must sustain us; and at last He must make us participants and fellow-heirs with Thee.” Pages 179-180.
 Meditating on this is a remedy for jealousy and contention and division- there are no favorites.
“His Majesty knew what a fuss would be made in the world about who was fashioned from the finer clay- which is like discussing whether clay is better for bricks or for walls.” Page 182.
 We must realize that all of us have not deserved to be made from even the basest clay, so that we find comfort only in him and throw ourselves into his arms.

The Baltimore Catechism is online. It's cover in the Sacrament of
Penance section and the list of sins.

Shunning Public Sinners are taught in all pre-Vatican 2 catechisms
and high school religion books.

Quote from: ClarkSmith

No reason for Catholic schools to have the day off. Public schools are constantly trying to remove the observance of Christian holidays. Catholics could take a stance by not observing secular holidays.

Very few Catholic schools are still Catholic. I attended one for 4 years and it was the biggest joke on the planet. Half of the students weren't even Catholic. We even had a religious Jєω. If the actually Catholic schools did try to take a stand they would be too few to even matter. They would just be disposed of quietly. by their fellow "Catholics".
