Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick's co-parenting war over her 'out of touch' schooling plans
Exes Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick are reportedly locked in a feud over how to educate their children despite being friendly co-parents since their split in 2015.
Kourtney, 46, shares sons Mason, 15, and Reign, 10, as well as daughter Penelope, 12, with Scott and is also a mom to one-year-old son Rocky, with her husband Travis Barker.
The reality TV star sparked fury last week when she discussed her controversial approach to parenting with her sister Khloe Kardashian on her podcast, Khloe In Wonder Land.
While appearing on the podcast Kourtney opened up about her children wanting to be homeschooled. Fans have since branded her 'out of touch' and harshly accused her of being the 'dumbest of the sisters.'
Kourtney said: 'Why do kids f*****g go to school?' before adding that it is a 'dated' practice.
According to an insider the comments infuriated Scott who found them 'irresponsible,' as claims emerge that as of late he is struggling to recognize his ex.
Speaking to DailyMail.com a source said: 'Scott strongly disagrees with Kourtney's parenting style and finds her comments irresponsible.
'Scott values hard work and sees school as essential and would never allow his kids to not attend.'
Kourtney was one of the only Kardashian sisters to attend college. She started her bachelor's degree at the traditional Southern Methodist University in Texas before graduating from the University of Arizona but has made it clear that she no longer believes traditional education is important.
Scott, who 'feels Kourtney has changed,' will reportedly have his children homeschooled 'over his dead body.'
The father-of-three, who still appears on the family reality show, is also said to have issues with the influence of Kourtney's step-children.
Kourtney married Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker in 2022, before giving birth to their son in November 2023. Travis shares Landon, 21, and Alabama, 19, with his ex-wife, Shanna Moakler.
A source said: 'Life at Kourtney and Travis's house can be chaotic and Scott is especially uneasy with the influence of Travis's daughter, Alabama.
'He makes clear that while Travis may be Rocky's dad, he will never be a father to his kids.'
As of late Alabama has been embroiled in online drama, including a seemingly never ending feud with Florida rapper Bhad Bhabie.
Their ongoing spat, which has consisted of numerous diss tracks, even saw baby Rocky pulled into the fight by the star's mom Barbara after she claimed if Alabama 'comes for my granddaughter I come for your little one!!!'
Alabama's influence was called into question when Reign joined his stepsister's boyfriend on an Instagram Live in April and shut down wild, longstanding rumors that his real father is Justin Bieber.
The live stream apparently infuriated Kourtney, who is wary of her children's presence on social media.
Despite her children growing up on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kourtney rarely shows their faces on social media and has never shared a picture of Rocky's face.
A second insider claimed that Scott 'is concerned the children would lose the opportunity to make friends and to establish independence' if they are homeschooled.
Instead of meeting other people their age, the children would be around their family members and the crew filming their Hulu reality show leading them to have more limited experiences.
The source said: 'If they are always at home around Kourtney they will miss out on substantial knowledge and teachings that Scott feels every kid should experience.
'They have enough money to find good schools and good teachers.
'He would rather they go that route over homeschooling any day.'

My neighbour asked to put their trampoline in my garden because they've got no room - I feel sorry for the children and don't know what to do
A woman has been told to refuse a request from her 'cheeky' neighbours who asked to put their children's trampoline in her garden. The anonymous woman, who is thought to be from the UK, took to parenting forum Mumsnet, asking fellow members of the British parenting site for their views. In her post, she wrote: 'So where I live the local farmer allocated a bit of extra garden to the rear of the houses. 'Currently all I do is cut the grass while i decide what to do with it. 'So next door asked me today if they can put up a trampoline in my bit of garden. 'Part of me thinks say yes as their garden at the rear of their house is awful and full of junk . But then another bit kicks in and thinks no sort your own garden out. Advice please.' The majority of respondents felt that the neighbour had been extremely cheeky to ask - and that refusing was the obvious answer. One said: 'Tell your neighbour to get lost!! Honestly some people are so cheeky.' Another added: 'Definitely No . You'll never get them off. Why don't they just tidy their own garden to put the trampoline on! Some people!' A further Mumsnetter wrote: 'Laugh and say no or laugh and tell them they're cheeky tuckers and clear their own garden if they want a trampoline.' 'You'd obviously be mad to even contemplate saying yes to this,' another chimed in. A further commenter wrote: 'So they've filled their garden so full of junk that they can't fit in anymore. And now they want to fill up yours?' And a strongly worded response said: 'Why would you even dither about this? The answer is no. They need to use their own garden.' 'Absolutely no way,' another commenter wrote in a similar vein. 'You'll struggle to ever reclaim it. Like you say, they need to sort their own garden out.' The anonymous Mumsnetter's post asked people to share their thoughts on her tricky situation with her neighbours The majority of respondents felt that the neighbour had been unreasonable to ask - and that the poster should refuse 'In my experience no good deed goes unpunished. NO would be my response,' another added. Some suggested that if she did let her neighbours use her garden, this could result in problems. One said: 'Absolutely not. I wouldn't because it's your land to use as you please. 'If they want their kids to have a trampoline then they can clean up their own garden. 'Aside from that I'd be concerned about legal liability If the child is injured while or your land.' Another agreed, adding: 'You do NOT want a trampoline anywhere near or definitely not on your property. Not at the end of your garden, no where near. 'It's not just the noise. They're terrible accidents waiting to happen.' Some Mumsnetters felt that there could potentially be serious repercussions if the poster let her neighbours use her land A small number of posters offered an alternative view, saying they didn't feel the neighbour had been cheeky to ask A third wrote: 'Absolutely not. What if someone hurt themselves on your them No, you have plans for it. Partition it off if you can.' However, some felt that it was a fair question for the neighbours to ask. One wrote: 'I don't think its cheeky to ask: don't ask, don't get. But you're well within your rights to say no. If you don't want it, you don't have to have it and I wouldn't because you'll never get rid of it.' Another agreed, writing: 'I don't think it is cheeky particularly but I wouldn't agree to it as you will never get the land back.' A further respondent suggested: 'Say OK for half term only, but it will have to be gone after Sunday and you won't be able to host it at any other time.'

Catholic students find refuge at Princeton University's worship space and cheer new pope
While other students might be in class or socializing at lunch, a group of young Catholics attends Mass every weekday at noon at the Princeton University Chapel. They sing Gregorian chants in Latin, pray and receive Communion at a side chapel — inside the huge, nondenominational Princeton Chapel — that young, devoted Catholics see as a sacred refuge in a mostly liberal and secular Ivy League environment. 'I feel that people's faith is so strong here,' student Logan Nelson said of the dedicated Catholic space where he attends daily Mass. 'It feels like a home — even more so than my own house.' A tight-knit Catholic campus ministry at a historic chapel The Gothic university chapel was built in 1928. At the time, Princeton says, its capacity to seat more than 2,000 people was second in size only to King's College Chapel at Cambridge University. Today, the chapel hosts interfaith services, concerts and weddings throughout the academic year and is known by the university as 'the bridge between town and gown.' On May 8, Catholic students were worshipping as usual at daily Mass in the side chapel when the service was interrupted by news alerts on their phones. In the Vatican, white smoke billowed from the Sistine Chapel, indicating that a new leader of their faith had been elected. The Rev. Zachary Swantek, Princeton's Catholic chaplain, told the group to gather at the Catholic Ministry office. Together, they watched on TV as the election of the first U.S.-born pope was announced. 'It was electric,' Nelson said, adding there was 'uproar' in the room when Chicago-born Cardinal Robert Prevost became the 267th pontiff. 'It was so cool to see an American pope.' Like other members of the Catholic ministry, he is hopeful that Pope Leo XIV will help bring a revival for Catholicism in America. 'I feel that there's a resurgence of Catholicism today,' said Nelson, who was religiously unaffiliated until last year when he converted to Catholicism. 'You see people who are passionate about their faith. There's a new wave coming, and we're going to have more converts like me, who are coming from the 'nones.'' Across much of the world, the number of people who are nonbelievers or unaffiliated with any organized religion has dramatically increased over the years. The people known as 'nones' — atheists, agnostics, or nothing in particular — comprise 30% or more of the adult population in the U.S., according to a survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Princeton's Office of Religious Life says it supports members of the school community 'of any religious identity or of none.' Being a devoted Catholic on a mostly secular campus can be challenging; Swantek says he's never felt 'more needed as a priest.' He is proud of the tight-knit, welcoming Catholic community that he leads, and how they've helped recent converts come into the faith. A U.S.-born pope becomes a sign of hope for American Catholics News of the first U.S.-born pope was welcomed by Catholics across the ideological spectrum in Pope Leo XIV 's homeland. 'Something that did bring me a lot of hope is Pope Leo has a missionary background,' said Ace Acuna, a Princeton alumni. He recently attended a Mass at the chapel before beginning a nearly five-week Catholic pilgrimage from Indianapolis to Los Angeles. 'In a world where in some places it might look like faith is on the decline, a church that's willing to go out to the margins and evangelize and be on mission, that's going to be so important,' Acuna said. When he was an undergrad at Princeton, Acuna said the chapel became crucial to his college life. On his way to class every morning, he'd pass by the chapel for a silent prayer. He'd return for the noon Mass and again at the end of the day for one last prayer. 'Princeton is a very busy place and there's a lot of noise both externally but also internally because we're so busy and we're always worried about the next thing,' he said. 'Sometimes you just want silence, and you just want a place where you can lay down your burdens.' At the close of one recent Mass, David Kim and his girlfriend Savannah Nichols continued to pray near the altar, holding hands, kneeling or prostrating on the floor in a sign of reverence. Kim, a recent graduate of the Princeton Theological Seminary, converted to Catholicism last year and has been serving as an altar server at the Princeton University chapel. He called the chapel's side altar "an island of Christian life in an unbelieving world.' Princeton University has always had a vibrant religious community and a religiously diverse one, said Eric Gregory, a professor of religion there. 'In a way it's either so secular or even post-secular that it's not threatened by the Christian presence on campus,' he said. "Religious students in our campus are not cloistered from campus. They're also in sports teams, clubs and the newspaper. They're integrated.' Catholics students in Leo's home state cheer his election Catholics at the the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign were elated by his election — and reinvigorated in practicing their faith. 'Being able to live out my faith in this extremely secular campus is such a blessing to me,' said student Daniel Vanisko, a lifelong Catholic, later adding in an email that the pope's election 'really helps me to draw closer to my faith, seeing that someone that grew up in the same state as me, is the successor of Peter in the Church." Cavan Morber, a rising junior, said attending UIUC 'gives me chance to be challenged in my beliefs, think critically about what I believe, and share my faith with others.' Asked in an email exchange about the pope's election, Morber replied: 'What a time to be alive!' 'I am hopeful for how he will be able to unite the Church in a time of a lot of division among Catholics and everyone around the world,' Morber added. ___ Associated Press religion coverage receives support through the AP's collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.
