Parents of students attending a New York Catholic school are angry that a former police officer
who served more than a decade in jail for killing a family of four in a drunken driving incident is now working at the school.
According to the paper, the pastor of St. Clare’s and the school’s principal wrote a letter to parents announcing the hiring of Gray.
It continues, "Since the legal system is satisfied with Mr. Gray’s return to work,
we believe he should be given the opportunity to do so, since ours is a faith of forgiveness and mercy."
The hiring didn’t sit well with a number of parents, who called the Advance to vent
their concerns about their children’s safety. They wouldn’t give their names.
“Who’s to say he’s not going to act out?” said one parent. “We don’t know what he’s capable of doing. ...
We can be merciful toward him, but I do believe that it’s a bad move to put him around children, especially small children.”
