This project has generated controversy because an entirely new conservative Catholic community is being developed around the school, almost like a utopia. The ACLU has already criticized efforts to restrict what may be sold in this new town.[2] In response the founder of the school, Domino's Pizza founder Tom Monaghan, denied that there would be restrictions on goods and cable shows available in the town.[3]
