My knowledge of De La Salle is about 10 years out-of-date so perhaps others, like Ms. Carlson, will correct me. But De La Salle's mission has nothing to do with saving kids from the clutches of poverty and crime.
Perhaps the point I made was too obscure -- the nature of DeLaSalle is irrelevant to the debate over the stadium, so there's no point in arguing about it. The only meaningful question is whether there's a net public benefit, or not. (With the caveat that the benefit to DeLaSalle is not a public benefit).
If DeLaSalle were run by dirt-worshipping pagans, it wouldn't (or shouldn't) change how we evaluate the stadium proposal.
