I'm a bit confused and a little more than shaken. I was listening to a Fr. Hewko sermon and he stated that according to Canon Law sending your kids to public school is an excommunicable offense. He didn't state which canon it was, so I'm not sure where he's referring to.

What are parents to do when they have no options for private Catholic schooling, and aren't fit for homeschooling? I don't have an option for Catholic schooling (that isn't Novus Ordo) and I'm not much of a teacher, and my wife certainly isn't fit for it. So what do I do? I'm basically damned if I do and damned if I don’t.

Catholics schools are far more dangerous than public schools. Sex Ed in our area was in Catholic schools in 60’s whereas it didn’t reach the public schools until 1980’s.
More atheists and queer’s coming out of the Catholic schools and universities. Communism is just hitting public schools in rural areas.

The biggest problem with children is cell phones, tv, etc. you need to detox the children from that and from any school.

What helped many parents who can’t school children was to join homeschool co op.
And you and your wife are probably better teachers that are now in any school.

“Catholic children may not attend non-Catholic, neutral, or mixed-schools, that is, those which are open also to non-Catholics, and it pertains exclusively to the Ordinary of the place to decide, in accordance with instructions of the Holy See, under what circuмstances and with what precautions against the danger of perversion, attendance at such schools may be tolerated“
(CIC 1917, § 1374)

When the Catholic schools started to raise tuition that Catholics could not afford while accepting wealthy non Catholics, that rule was broken by Bishops and Catholic schools.

That was a red flag back then.

1215. Catholic children are to be educated in schools where not only nothing contrary to Catholic faith and morals is taught, but rather in schools where religious and moral training occupy the first place. * * * (Canon 1372.)'

'1216. In every elementary school the children must, according to their age, be instructed in Christian doctrine.

'The young people who attend the higher schools are to receive a deeper religious knowledge, and the bishops shall appoint priests qualified for such work by their learning and piety. (Canon 1373.)'
