Should be a very interesting meeting next Tuesday as the latest developments in the Morinville school debacle continue to play out: http://www.edmontonjournal.com/life/Morinville+selling+house+giving+fight+secular+education/4662182/story.html It should be noted that Donna Hunter and the other parents she represents are not even asking for the dissolution of the Catholic school system in Alberta.  They are only asking for a secular education for THEIR children.  In my humble opinion, I think the Catholic school board should receive no public funds.  But these parents (officially) have nothing against the children of Catholic parents being indoctrinated into the Catholic religion using taxpayer’s dollars.  They just don’t choose that for their own kids.  It is sad, that for some of them, the only option left seems to be to get out of town — which is exactly what the Catholic bigots want.
