Hey T.,

Religious schools out here are "policed". The government sends out teams of educators to make sure that they meet the same "standards" as public schools. We also have yearly standardized tests of grades 4 and 7 students. How well a school does at teaching shows in the test results and the schools rankings. If they were teaching terrorism all the time, the school would do pretty badly. In fact the Sikh school out here went from being among the worst in their results to among the best. And how can you blame all Sikhs and their schools for the mass murder committed by a few Sikh terrorists. Also keep in mind that many of the teachers at these religious schools are not the same religion as the students at the school. If terrorism was being promoted, I think they would report it. I think that there should be funding for all or funding for none, not funding for just Catholics like they do in Ontario.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!
