HillBuzz on the merits of a Catholic education

From HillBuzz, a group of gay guys in Chicago who are always interesting. My bolds:

For the last 30 years, the union-controlled public school system in this country has indoctrinated children with PC-meekness…and in particular, it has emasculated men. The Left did this deliberately, to control Americans, and to make them afraid to ever speak out.

Currently, I am in a personally strange situation where I am dating a guy who is meek and mousy like this and it boggles my mind constantly. I love Justin, and I think he is one of the nicest people I have ever met, but he is TERRIFIED of standing up to bullies. Last week, when he was driving his car, an unmarked police vehicle ran a stop sign at an intersection and almost hit him. Not knowing it was a police car, Justin yelled out the window at the driver to watch what he was doing (which shocks me, because even almost being hit by another car I’m stunned Justin yelled at anyone). The cop turned on his hidden lights, pulled Justin over, and then intimidated Justin with his authority. Essentially, the cop pulled a “I know where you live, so you better not say anything about this” on Justin. Though Justin knew the cop was wrong, and felt that the officer abused his authority, and the whole episode was creepy like the movie where Samuel L. Jackson is a cop who terrorizes his neighbors, Justin didn’t want to do anything about it. Justin asked me what I would do, and I told him I would report that cop to the Mayor’s office, the independent police commission here in Chicago, and the local Alderman. Then, I would have written a big story about it on HillBuzz and would have asked everyone I knew coast to coast to help find out who that cop was to shame him and the police department here in Chicago into answering why he behaved the way he did. Justin is too scared to do that, because he thinks the cop will find him and retaliate. I told Justin that if the cop did that, he would be fired, and the police department and City of Chicago would have one Hell of a lawsuit on their hands. Honestly, this has kept Justin up at night, though I have not pushed him to do anything about it because I know it’s not his nature to stand up for himself…and I realize the way I handle things is not typical (unfortunately). Justin is so scared of bullies coming back at him if he speaks out against them that he can’t fathom writing so much as a letter of complaint to the city against an unmarked police car that was clearly in the wrong. This mousiness is engrained in him, and it had to come from somewhere. I think it came from the public education system, which Justin attended, because it does not sound like Justin’s parents are like this (and, in fact, his parents get on Justin’s case for being so wimpy themselves).

I went to Catholic school and I don’t take garbage from anyone. The nuns taught me that. I spent 13 years in classrooms with gruesome depictions of all the saints on the walls: people with their eyes gouged out, nailed to crosses, set afire, and pulled to pieces because they refused to bow and scrape before anyone or renounce what they believed in because they were bullied.

So, I just don’t understand Justin’s terror at the thought of calling bullies out for the bad things they do, because I have never in my life walked away from a fight, and have never been too scared to speak what needed to be said.

Is it still like this in Catholic Schools? I think I've read something similar from Kathy Shaidle at Five Feet of Fury about her Catholic education in Hamilton.
