Thank heaven for religious schools — they keep our public system honest
is what this former government education minister now columnist once wrote.
In her article column she adroitly refers to some guy named Bill Vander Zalm and makes the case that there is a catalyst way to keep the public school system "honest", if only we look hard enough.
Perhaps she might do well to remind her self as long as she mentions honesty and crooked politicians in the same column that Bill Vanderzalm had to resign admidst a scandal.

And this is the guy we should rely on as a catalyst for bringing in this so called honesty?
Thats like a bad joke.
We should have a choice...
The choice to pay for faith based education your self or send your kids to public school where by educational rote: the nuts and bolts of life are given with tools to get by in life. And leave ones 'choice' for religion out of equitable equations of tax dollars at work.
Another thing is that public funded schools bring public accountability, but faith based funding schools simply have to answer to themselves or
As the link shows, until recently that is.
If nothing but a sick contorted tale of religious gimmickery and the enslavement of people its still a precedent that predates out and out 100 hundred percent unequivocal support for taxes going to religious schooling. With a cautionary tale to the ongoing corrolary of politics, state intervention and publicy funded schooling.
Besides where dolalrs are concerned, religious education should be free anyway. Does it cost you money to give your kids a religious lesson at home? How much Christy without reaching into the taxpayers pocket first?
Zero.
Christy writes: "public schools have long resisted differentiating themselves from one another."
Resisted? Thats really funny coming from someone who has previously worked in government education like Christy has.
As if public schools have advertising budgets or something or name brands no less, or have some type of sanction put on them by the government that gives them money that would even allow them to "differentiate" themselves from one another.
Its almost like saying having the CBC around like a canard keeps corporate media honest. Almost but not quite.
At least we have one Judge in BC who knows better. Hope its a lesson we dont perpetually ignore.
