... we did use to throw rocks at the Catholic kids in their cute little uniforms on the way to school, but I think that was more a reaction of poor kids against the perceived wealth and snobbery of those who could afford private school. The fact that many Catholics of modest means make sacrifices to send their kids to parochial school would have been lost on us.
