Great progress ending injustice
Well the one school system campaign has hit a fevered pitch and it is looking great! So far six school boards have adopted one school system motions and the issue is catching on. Reporters have been asking the political heads questions and editorials have been blasting there responses. It's pretty easy once you know even a little about the situation (public Catholic schools are inherently discriminatory and privilege a single faith above all others and the duplication costs us hundreds of millions of dollars per year etc...). Our newspaper writings have become much more frequent since the newspapers are finding there is a huge audience for this topic and even radio shows have taken it on!
Even better, one of the important pieces to solve this problem has fallen into place: The Ontario Green Party has announced their education policy includes a move to one secular* school system! This means we have the Tories who say that the system is unfair so well give money to the rich people who send their children to private religious schools, the Liberals and the NDP who simply ignore the UN rulings, obvious facts and common sense defending the status quo and the Greens who have a policy that is fiscally responsible, fair, and will end this discrimination! Even if they don't win they have raised the issue and something must be done.
*by Secular, I mean: Secularity (adjective form secular) is the state of being separate from organized religion.
Update: Explosive Revelations about Homosexual Teachers in Canadian Catholic Schools
Why do I care? I certainly have nothing against homosexuals. It's because this leaves two great possibilities. The first is that these teachers are fired a move that shows how unjust the PUBLIC Catholic system is (a corporation can't fore a person for being gay but the government can?!?, but I would feel bad about the teacher's job loss). Or they will do nothing which (wrongly) would erode the stanch defenders of the system's will and improve on the homophobia in the system. Boy what timing!!
