"The nation's Catholic schools, facing increasing competition, rising costs and a diminishing core of potential pupils, continue to struggle to keep students and find new ones. But there are some signs of growth in cities including Los Angeles and Indianapolis.
Enrollment in Catholic schools nationwide declined almost 12% for the 2012-13 school year compared with five years ago, a National Catholic Education Association (NCEA) report says. About 2 million children, from pre-K to 12th grade, attend Catholic schools across the U.S. In 2007-08, there were 2.27 million, says the report, released in February."

According to USA Today, my assertions of the substantial is becoming increasingly apparent, provided that they did looked at the NCEA's 2012-2013 census of the American Catholic School System. And it shows; we are dying out slowly, but so slow that not one of us notices. Instead, we're into other things, like sports or playing video games, the "Six Flags Mentality" as one may calls it.

Everywhere we go, we are losing more people in our Catholic Schools and still we are discriminated because of being who we are. Why do we not take a stand and struggle against those who go against us and rise up the American Catholic School System while we're doing it. And, more importantly, enjoy as much of the struggle as we can.

In all of these events, we, the people of the American Catholic School System shall rise up from the mud, and retain our power once more. But will we do it? That is something I ask of you, my brother/sister of the American Catholic School System.
