The Nativity School of Worcester, which is a Catholic private school in Massachusetts, has reportedly been excommunicated by a local bishop after it refused to remove Pride and BLM flags. The school has been sanctioned by Robert J McManus, the Bishop of the Diocese of Worcester, for not obeying orders to take down the flags.

McManus has reportedly said that the school, which is the only tuition-free private school in the region run by Principal Emily Kent, cannot continue to call itself Catholic while refusing to abide by church teachings. The middle school serves about 60 students.
