New York, NY —  Wendy Long, the New York nominee for U.S. Senate of the
Republican, Conservative, and Reform parties, today stated:

“There are many reasons to be thankful for Wikileaks, and perhaps the most
important yet is for pointing out the ignorant bigotry that today’s
purported elites have when it comes to traditional Catholicism and
Christianity in general.  As noted in emails between John Halpin and John
Podesta, members of the Democrat political class have disdain for those who
believe and follow Church teachings.

“Unfortunately, it is something I know too well from personal experience.

“When my son was in Seventh Grade at St. Bernard’s School in Manhattan, I
was shocked to see his human biology class “text.”  He and his classmates
were forced read aloud in class material that misrepresented Catholic
teaching on human sexuality.  Forcing students to read aloud material that
denigrates their faith constitutes indoctrination.

“When I pointed out to the school that the text misrepresented Catholic
teaching on human sexuality, the school, which counts the late Cardinal
Avery Dulles among its alumni, resisted my attempts to even discuss and
correct it.  When I sent excerpts from the Catholic Catechism in an attempt
to show why the text was wrong, I was mistakenly copied on an email (which I
have retained) from a senior member of the school stating that, in light of
my persisting, he would tell our family that it was time to find a new
school.  This at an institution that purports not to discriminate on the
basis of religion.

“The cultural elite in this country — the Democrat Party, big media, big
corporations, and our schools, from nursery school through universities —
is on a mission to wipe traditional religion from America, which the
Founders acknowledged was established on God’s natural law.

“Wikileaks has ripped the lid off the anti-Catholic bigotry that is not
limited to Hillary Clinton and her political advisors.  Unfortunately,
bigotry towards traditional Jews and Christians is the last socially
acceptable form of bigotry among the elites of the Acela corridor.”
