Frankly, if you want a school system to promote tolerance of diversity the school system needs to tolerate diversity. A school system that doesn't tolerate diversity just encourages children to learn not to do so as well. From my point of view that would be very un-Canadian.
Actually, Fine Arts education generally helps children do better in school. It isn't just for show.
