Another side to this issue are all of the LGBT teachers and students who are harassed by publicly-funded catholic school systems. I am quite aware of this because I unfortunately am a gay male in Ontario's Catholic system. When a teacher signs a contact with a catholic system, they must sign a "catholicity clause" in their contract which essentially says they must be catholic role-models both at work AND in their private life, and if they violate this they can be fired by the board. The Ontario Human Rights Commission can do very little since denominational schools have rights very broadly recognized in the Charter.
