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

There is no need to mix a single religion with our school systems. It is a throwback to an old era and as other provinces have already moved to phase out funding religious schools, Alberta should keep up with the times and do the same.
Religion is something one should do at home and at their place of worship. Not in schools or government.
