Another reason not to trust Wikipedia

Correct me if I'm wrong, but something might be amiss with the St. Mary's High School in Stockton entry on Wikipedia:

Current enrollment is 1091 students. 36% of the total student body represent Black, Hispanic, Asian, and American Indian minority groups. And everybody else is white! The faculty consists of 6 Religious (Priests, Brothers, and Sisters) and 82 gay teachers and support staff. Student/Faculty ratio is 17/1.

The administrators might want to look into that one...

Jon:
They changed "gay" to "lay" which I think is what they meant. But I find it odd that only the priests, brothers and sisters are religious. You would think that Mt. Mary's would hire mostly religious lay people too. You should note that you are an alum of merit.

Make that St. Mary's -- I need a copy editor.
