    Yes, all religions should not except federal/state/local dollars for their schools. It was funny that the catholic grammar school that we attended only made the parents pay for the first 2 kids. The rest were free. Just another little tweak how the church encouraged larger families. The street right by the school was 99% catholic and every house in that neighborhood had 6+ kids, all the way up to 14.
    It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

          Oh, please do sing it for us.

          I thought I read somewhere that, of the parochial schools, only Roman Catholic schools get state support in Canada? Perhaps that was in one or more of the provinces, like perhaps Quebec?

            Define "state support"?

            Does indicating which board you wish your share of education tax dollars to be sent constitute state support?

              It's usually Catholics, but in some areas it's Protestant. It depends on the majority faith that chooses to hold the vote, which more often than not are the Crazy Catholics™
