First of all, it's in our constitution that Catholic shcools will be funded by the government. So if we want to make changes we have to make changes to the constitution.
I personally don't think there should be a seperate publically funded school board. I don't see how it's fair. If parents want their kids to learn about the Catholic faith they should send them to church or to a private school. There are many other religious schools in Toronto (and I wouldn't be surprised in other cities/provinces) that have private religious based schools. They have also been trying for years and years to have their schools publically funded.
So there are really only 2 fair options. Have all public schools secular or fund all religion based schools...either way the constitution has to be changed.
