Loretto High – Loretto High bans family for its ‘attacks’ – sacbee.com: “Loretto administrators said Tuesday that Ed and Wynette Sills of Pleasant Grove and their daughter Katelyn, a sophomore, are no longer welcome at the private college preparatory school.
Wynette Sills a few weeks ago demanded school administrators fire a Loretto drama teacher for previously volunteering at a Planned Parenthood clinic. Sills e-mailed to the school photos of the teacher escorting people into the clinic.
The teacher, Marie Bain of Sacramento, who ceased volunteering before taking the Loretto job, was fired Oct. 14.
The Sillses’ ‘attacks’ included ‘taunts, threats and verbal abuse directed against members of our school community, as well as a mass e-mail campaign slandering the school’s reputation as a Catholic institution,’ wrote Loretto’s president, Sister Helen Timothy, in a statement.
‘We cannot,’ Timothy continued, ‘allow members of a single family to disrupt our ability to serve all Loretto families and provide their daughters with a safe and stable campus environment conducive to learning.’
Timothy said she would not comment beyond the statement.
The Sillses, who live on an organic farm off Highway 99, decried the accusations as ‘false and defamatory.’
‘Our family has at all times acted respectfully in attempting to resolve a difficult situation,’ the family wrote in a statement e-mailed to The Bee. ‘It is unfortunate that the administration has chosen to respond with falsehoods and vindictive spite.’
Catholic schools Superintendent Dom Puglisi declined to comment, saying all inquiries would be handled by the office of Bishop William K. Weigand.
