It is time to revisit what judge’s should have purview over and what they should not.
It is time to have all judicial decisions overseen by a legislative body that, by law, has the authority to refer them to the legislation for overturning.
It is time to have all acts of a legislature automatically include a line about exemption from judicial review.
Having grown up in a Catholic school, I think this is a brilliant opportunity to teach about the core values vs. some other religious values.
And to help the students think very critically regarding ‘how’ other religions exercise their beliefs vs. the ‘we all worship the same God’ stuff of the utopian left.
Some FReepers are under the sweetly naive assumption that the government will leave you alone if you don't take their money. That's no longer true even in this country, to say nothing of Canada.
1. This has nothing to do with accepting government funding. The government is mandating this on all schools, whether or not they accept government funds, which you would know if you learned something instead of leaping to your own bigotry-based presumptions.
2. The government takes their money, supposedly to teach their children; why SHOULDN’T they demand a portion of it back, if they provide that service for their own kids?
3. As I already noted, the Catholic schools in Quebec largely DON’T take government funds.
It’s like your saying, “She had it coming for dressing like a slut” when the victim was wearing a full habit!
I believe you are factually in error. Montreal Catholic schools were organized specifically to be independent of the Provincial “Confessional” schools which were dependent on public funds. These Montreal Catholic schools are supported by tuition. This is a flat-out attempt by the Montreal provincial government to force independent Catholics to surrender on faith and morals. It has nothing to do with money.
You're absolutely right, of course. However, our Church needs to stop relying on government funds. Here in Philadelphia, Archbishop Chaput put in a plug for vouchers as he announced he was closing dozens of parish schools. I wanted to put a brick through the TV. Can't he see that the government cannot be trusted and that we Catholics need to pay for our own?
I'd agree, but if Canada is like the US then there are lots of nasty tricks the government has. I could be wrong, but I think the GI Bill in the US counts as "government money" if a soldier wants to go to a private school, which then allows the feds to enforce all their corrosive edicts, like Title IV.
