Unsourced and arguably skewed "Controversy" section

[edit]

I happened across this page, and noticed a section entitled "Controversy" that stood out. It was unsourced, and seemed tacked on inappropriately to an article that is still just a stub. It deals with a school closure in the diocese, and is clearly written from the perspective of someone opposed to the school's closure.

I have removed the text in question for the time being, but am posting it here so that down the road someone better qualified to improve this article can take it into account.

The selection: On March 17, 1994 it was announced that the 75-year old Cathedral High School would be closed due to operating costs. Archbishop Curtiss was criticized for the decision and the lack of willingness to work with the Cathedral students and staff to find a path of compromise. He refused to meet with student leaders who marched three miles with the student body to his office in search of an explanation. Although the problems that plagued Cathedral began long before his tenure, the bulk of the criticism arose from the stonewalling tactics and his decision to leave Omaha while the closure was finalized. Officially, the closure was called a consolidation with Omaha's Roncalli High School.
