Do religious schools really want to become CHARTER school$??

Here's my 2 cents on this issue.

If I were the administrator of a religious school (other than a Catholic one) I would not want tax money in support. Because I would be afraid the money would come with a string, a Charter string.

Because as I understand it, when an entity is supported by tax dollars, it becomes subject to the rules imposed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. So, the religious schools would be subject to Charter scrutiny if their teachings, the school environment or the personnel were discriminatory in any way.

So, do these private schools really want to become Charter schools?

I would think not!

John Tory... better luck next time.
