To be clear, I don't think that calling for an audit of the CBE is a sign of any sort of agenda on its own. But if democratically elected officials are removed and replaced with political appointees without clearcut proof of wrongdoing by these trustees, that's a huge problem. Many of LaGrange's other actions have undermined public school boards, such as lifting the cap on charter schools in the province, a proposal to increase the ratio of funding devoted to private school boards, or requiring the boards to stop listing themselves as public. As a former catholic school board trustee herself, she's made no secret of her belief of the superiority of that system.
