Exactly! More discriminatory news against the American Catholic School System. Someone there, at Jefferson City, MO destroyed a statue of Baby Jesus and Virgin Mary. Was that really necessary as I might add?

If it helps, I'll try to add some details and some info, straight of Yahoo.com, okay?

* The statue was located in an area of the school where longtime supporter Leon Vanderfeltz did landscaping work before he died in 2012. Dean of Students Stan Oschner told the media outlet Vanderfeltz planted bushes and flowers, but the centerpiece of the garden was the statue donated to Vanderfeltz by the Christian Brothers in Glencoe, Mo. The landscaper took care of the statue and its surrounding gardens.
* Repairing the statue "would cost at least $1,000" and school officials are hoping to "find who were stupid enough to do this," according to Oschner speaking to the News-Tribune.
* The statue was made of metal. It was situated where the school placed a memorial to the landscaper and his wife after his passing.

* According to KOMU, the statue was knocked completely off its pedestal. The statue's head of Mary broke off and the baby Jesus was shattered. The piece was so heavy, track coach Chip Malmstrom told the television station, "It wouldn't just blow over on its own."

* In another recent incident of vandalism, the News-Tribune reports someone spray painted things on the side of Rackers Fieldhouse, the school's gymnasium. One of the spray painted figures was a cross with marks through it.
* Jefferson City Area Crime Stoppers has offered a $500 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction for those responsible, according to the News-Tribune. ConnectedMidMissouri.com reveals Cole County Crimestoppers has $400 for anyone with information.
* Principal Jean Dietrich told ConnectedMidMissouri.com, "We certainly would like if anybody can help us figure out who did this, that would be most appreciated."

* Anyone with information is urged to contact the Jefferson City Police Department at (573) 634-6400 or the Helias High School office at (573) 635-6139. Anonymous tips can be left by calling (573) 659-TIPS to the local Crimestoppers tip line.

* Helias High School was founded in 1956 after $1 million was raised in four years to create the Catholic high school. The institution is named after a Jesuit missionary who settled in central Missouri in the late 1830s.
