Who knows, when one day the Muslim population reaches a size that it can support a school system almost equal in size to the Catholic system (the Catholic system in Calgary is ~ 45% the size of the Public system), then they may be successful in getting their own check box. And if they do good for them.

Actually, I believe the only reason there is a separate Catholic system stems from when Alberta became a province. Quebec wouldn't vote to allow Alberta into Canada unless we had a separate Catholic school system mandated in our constitution. Ironically, Quebec has now gone totally secular. So I doubt if any other religions will get their own publicly funded school systems, regardless of numbers.
