Public Catholic schools are not part of the problem here. They are not draining resources away from other public schools.

For me, it's the awkward acceptance that belief in grumpkins and snarks has any place next to education, unless the subject is about ALL religions and their histories.
If parents want to indoctrinate their children, please make use of the millions of churches around the city that are open once a week and don't pay taxes.
There's something truely messed up about kids spending their learning time creating works of art that announces their love of God. I had to walk through a Catholic school the other day and the hallways were awash with posters created by 8 year olds depicting their relationship with God. It makes me sick that this cult receives ANY measure of public funding.
