CNN tries, not so slyly, to discredit Catholic doctrine

Secretary DeVos visited a Catholic school that adheres to Catholic doctrine. Pretty unremarkable development, don't you think? But CNN figured that if it were framed a certain way, it could make her look like she was bigoted against people who are delusional about what sex they are, and that Catholic schools are able to be as wide-open about the matter of enrolling delusional students as public schools have become:

On Thursday, CNN moaned that Education Secretary Betsy DeVos would be visiting a "Pennsylvania Catholic school that subscribes to an anti-trans student policy."
What constitutes an "an anti-trans student policy" for CNN? The fact that Harrisburg Catholic Elementary School in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, obeys the Diocese of Harrisburg's student policy on Gender Identity Questions, which states:
This policy addresses the circumstances where there is a clear biological determination of a person's sex and subsequent efforts to chemically and/or surgically alter the given biology. This is understood in Catholic moral terms as self-mutilation and therefore immoral. To attempt to make accommodations for such persons would be to cooperate in the immoral action and impose an unacceptable burden on others in the school community.
The policy adds, "When parents enroll a child in a Catholic school in the diocese they agree that they will not publically act in opposition to Catholic teaching. Notification of a student’s determination to undergo a sex change procedure or that a student has undergone the procedure (condition #2 as described above) would violate that agreement. The student would be ineligible to attend or remain in attendance in a Catholic school."
You want to have your delusion indulged? Find a non-Catholic high school to attend.
