Re: School Focus Playing Well For Liberals, Sept. 15.
It is bizarre that 43% of Ontario voters would identify the funding of
faith-based schools as one of their top three election issues. All
three parties support continuing public funding for the 93% of
Ontario's faith-based schools that are already fully publicly funded --
i.e. Catholic schools. Providing an opportunity to the other 7% to
enter the public education system and receive funding equal to Catholic
schools is not a big change.
What we are seeing here is a significant number of Ontario voters
falling for a politically opportunistic and hypocritical attempt by
Premier McGuinty to turn a small issue into something bigger in an
attempt to deflect attention from the real issues. Ironically, McGuinty
himself is the product of publicly funded Catholic faith-based schools
and chose to send his children there also.
