To the Editor:

In arecent press article, the Camden, N.J., diocese – Camden Catholic, Paul VI, Gloucester Catholic, St. Joseph, Wildwood Catholic and Holy Spirit – is condemned for announcing that any student athletes who kneel for the national anthem will be subject to a two-game suspension.

Due to recent NFL players’ refusal to stand for the national anthem, the diocese went on to clarify the Office of Catholic Schools’ position.
