I wonder if the court will soon rule that forcing a child to clean up his room is unconstitutional

(Canada) Catholic schools can't force student to attend mass, court rules

Take the government's money, dance the government's tune. I guess some time back the Catholic Church in Ontario looked jealously to the east at Quebec and demanded they be treated the same. You see in Quebec the Church is part of the Francophone culture, so the Catholic schools were funded by the government, since most Quebecois attended Catholic schools, plus the Protestant Anglophones were also forced to pay for them. The Church in majority Protestant Ontario probably demanded that the Ontario government pay for their schools too. Hey if Quebec does, why shouldn't Ontario. Politicians being politicians probably caved, and now the law of unattended consequences kicks in.
