A student of Cardinal Hayes High School, Latrell Davis, has been banned from graduation for shouting “Fuck Jesus” at a Catholic Mass.
According to a Daily Caller report, Davis committed the crime on May 12 while the school was holding a Catholic Mass in an auditorium.
He passed by and loudly exclaimed “Fuck Jesus.”
The school says he Davis will be allowed to graduate but will not be allowed to attend his graduation ceremony, holding on Saturday at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
His mother thinks the punishment is too much.
“I didn’t go to my own graduation, so I want to be proud to see my son graduate because he’s labelled as a statistic,” she said.
“Coming from an African-American teen mother, the odds were really against him.”
Davis has claimed that he was only asking a question when shouted.
“When I passed the auditorium door, I heard someone say, ‘F Jesus, and then I turned around, and the door was still open, and I repeated it, like questioning it," he said.
"So I was like, ‘F Jesus?'”
The school however claims that other students saw Davis actually enter the auditorium and loudly shout his sacrilege, adding that his ban from the graduation is “final.”
“Every educational institution must maintain discipline if true learning is to occur,” the school's tough discipline policy says.
Cardinal Hayes High School is a Catholic high school for boys in the Concourse Village neighbourhood of the Bronx, New York City.
