Print Story - canada.com network Stop favouring Catholics National Post Friday, August 10, 2007 Re: Faith-Based Schools Help Multiculturalism, Letter, Aug. 9. Some see what they want to see. Apparently those seeking public money for their child's religious education, cannot see that the obvious path out of the dilemma of Ontario funding Catholic schools is for the province to only fund the public school system. Ontario Premier, Dalton McGuinty, speaks of the strength of our current public school system as a vehicle for better understanding and acceptance, but hypocritically maintains he cannot do what Manitoba, Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador have already done to end sectarian education. Some speak of fairness. Since when did some historical gaffe deserve another? Some speak of impossibilities. If Ontario cannot end its current educational policy favouring Catholics, how do we expect other states to solve their historical religious and cultural problems?
