Religion is something one should do at home and at their place of worship. Not in schools or government.

So should the non-catholic public districts be expected to somehow absorb all of these catholic schools, along with their students and staff, or should the catholic school districts just be cut off from all public funding and attempt to independently fund themselves through fees? The first would be an absolute logistical and legal nightmare that would take an era to figure out, and the second would without question lead to a massive migration of students from catholic to conventional public- which the province currently has no space for.
There are something like 175K students in the Catholic system in Alberta, meaning it is simply too big to realistically do anything about.
