Until now, Nativity School of Worcester has been minding its own business, doing what it does best: God’s work. The tuition-free school — part of a Jesuit network — serves 61 boys in grades 5 through 8, almost all of them students of color and from low-income families. With longer school days and individualized attention, those kids will often leap six or seven grade levels in four years, going on to become successful high school and college students.

Bishop Robert J. McManus, 70, sees the flags quite differently. In a statement, the bishop said the Black Lives Matter flag has at times been co-opted by “factions which also instill broad-brush distrust of police and those entrusted with enforcing our laws.” And “gay pride flags are often used to stand in contrast to consistent Catholic teaching that sacramental marriage is between a man and a woman.”
