The real question is whether we should have Catholic schools funded by public dollars, when other religions are denied such public funding.

I tend to agree, however, this is a constitutional issue that requires sufficient political will in Ontario. This has not existed, unlike in Quebec and Newfoundland that had sufficient consensus to pull this off.
I am very thankful that we did not elect a Conservative government that proposed to allow all sorts of religious schools funded by tax dollars about 10 years ago. This would have made society much more fractured.
