In NY they're shutting down Catholic schools left and right because they lose too much money.

In Philadelphia the Catholic schools are now in competition with Charter schools. It's hard to compete when a government schools ( Charters) are giving a product away for free. Private grocery stores would have a hard time of it too, if government opened free food stores. This would be true even if the government were giving away poor quality food.
