I feel I should point out at this juncture, in the interests of full disclosure, and for the purposes of popular education, that, I believe, many Catholic schools receive state subsidies. I could be mistaken about that (and appreciate any correction any may add), but I do not believe I am mistaken.

I do not agree with this practice, for the record, not that I don’t think they should receive such funds, but because such funds allow the state to potentially wield control over such schools. I don’t think that happens in practice, but in theory it could, especially in today’s PC climate.

And I am a Catholic of the Latin Rite (Roman Catholic).

I don’t think you’re right on Catholic schools. ALthough they are connected to the Catholic Church, I do’t beleieve they can benefit form that as a “non profit”.

I also don’t agree with religious schools getting state money. You want GOVERNMENT out of the schools, if you want to be consistent. When government gets in, they CHANGE things and usually what YOU would WANT in the school.

Maybe someone else knows more about non Muslim schools getting state funding. I don’t know of any that do but I am not all knowing.

This is my chief objection as well.
