Redazione CNA, 12 giugno 2025 \/ 10:59 (CNA).<\/p>\n

Le famiglie cattoliche in Pennsylvania hanno ottenuto una vittoria in tribunale federale questa settimana, quando un distretto scolastico locale ha accettato di consentire agli studenti delle scuole parrocchiali di partecipare agli eventi sportivi e ad altre attivit\u00e0 del distretto.<\/p>\n

L' La Thomas More Society<\/a>, uno studio legale di interesse pubblico con sede a Chicago, ha dichiarato in un comunicato stampa<\/a> che diverse famiglie cattoliche avevano ottenuto la \u201cgrande vittoria\u201d presso la Corte Distrettuale degli Stati Uniti per il Distretto Centrale della Pennsylvania dopo aver intentato la causa nel luglio 2023.<\/p>\n

Il distretto scolastico di State College Area aveva inizialmente affermato che agli studenti delle scuole parrocchiali non era consentito partecipare alle attivit\u00e0 extracurricolari del distretto, sebbene consentisse agli studenti istruiti a casa e a quelli delle scuole charter di prendere parte a tali eventi.<\/p>\n

Le famiglie delle scuole cattoliche avevano fatto causa al distretto sostenendo che la politica violava i loro diritti costituzionali alla libert\u00e0 di religione e alla pari protezione.<\/p>\n

Nel dicembre 2023, il giudice distrettuale degli Stati Uniti Matthew Brann ha consentito che la sfida procedesse<\/a>, concordando sul fatto che la regola sembrava violare i diritti costituzionali dei convenuti.<\/p>\n

In un documento depositato il 10 giugno, le famiglie cattoliche e il distretto scolastico hanno concordato un ordine di consenso<\/a> che stabilisce che gli studenti cattolici \u201channo generalmente diritto agli stessi benefici generalmente disponibili forniti agli studenti istruiti a casa e a quelli delle scuole charter\u201d nel distretto.<\/p>\n

Il distretto ha dichiarato di aver accettato di \u201cmettere a disposizione degli studenti delle scuole parrocchiali\u2026 le stesse attivit\u00e0 extracurricolari e co-curricolari (inclusi gli sport) e i programmi educativi offerti agli studenti istruiti a casa e agli studenti delle scuole charter\u201d.<\/p>\n

Thomas Breth, consulente speciale per la Thomas More Society, ha affermato nel comunicato stampa che i distretti scolastici in Pennsylvania \u201cnon possono discriminare gli studenti ed escluderli dalle attivit\u00e0 semplicemente perch\u00e9 scelgono di frequentare una scuola a base religiosa\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cLa discriminazione religiosa non ha posto nella nostra societ\u00e0, ma soprattutto nelle nostre scuole pubbliche\u201d, ha detto Breth.<\/p>\n

Ha sostenuto che l'ordine \u201crafforza la capacit\u00e0 dei genitori di dare priorit\u00e0 alle convinzioni religiose della propria famiglia quando prendono decisioni educative, senza essere costretti a sacrificare opportunit\u00e0 educative e atletiche che vengono offerte ad altri studenti e pagate con i loro dollari delle tasse\u201d.<\/p>\n

In un'intervista con la CNA, l'avvocato ha affermato che, sebbene l'ordine di consenso non si applichi a livello statale, probabilmente aiuter\u00e0 a garantire che altri distretti non escludano gli studenti parrocchiali dalle attivit\u00e0 distrettuali.<\/p>\n

\u201cMi aspetto pienamente che molti, molti distretti scolastici si allineino e decidano di non litigare sulla questione\u201d, ha detto.<\/p>\n

Il distretto ha finito per pagare $150.000 in spese legali ai querelanti, ha osservato Breth. Ha esortato i genitori degli studenti delle scuole cattoliche a prendere in considerazione l'idea di fare pressione sui loro distretti affinch\u00e9 consentano ai propri figli l'accesso alle attivit\u00e0 extracurricolari.<\/p>\n

\u201cSono gi\u00e0 stato in contatto con genitori di altri distretti scolastici\u201d, ha aggiunto. \u201cSi trovano in situazioni simili. Spingeremo forte in altri distretti se non riconoscono di avere l'obbligo costituzionale di lasciare che gli studenti delle scuole parrocchiali partecipino allo stesso modo degli studenti delle scuole charter e di quelli istruiti a casa\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cSperiamo che non ci sia bisogno di un contenzioso. Speriamo che bastino delle lettere\u201d, ha detto. \u201cSperiamo che il distretto faccia ci\u00f2 che \u00e8 giusto per i ragazzi, perch\u00e9 in definitiva \u00e8 di questo che si tratta\u201d.<\/p>\n
