[Mrs. Don-o]

In Canada, Catholic schools are not private schools. They are public (taxpayer-funded) schools who cannot favor Catholics either in hiring or in enrollment.he often have a non-Catholic principal or "head teacher" and non-Catholic staff. They may not teach anything distinctively Catholic "as fact." They may not even require attendance in religion classes.

They differ from regular public schools only in their name, and in that children "may" take a religion class or "may" pray or attend prayer services on a voluntary basis.

And the same goes to Protestant and, as far as I know, Jewish and other "Faith Schools."

This whole situation is secularist-totalitarian and rotten from top to bottom, but it is not analogous to Catholic and other faith-based schools in the US.
