Ok, saga, here's a link to the [url=http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/elaws_statutes_90e02_e... Act[/i][/color][/url].
The word "indoctrination" never appears in it.
The concept that some functions of a separate school are publicly funded, while others are not - well, you'll have to point me to it, because I couldn't find it.
On the contrary, I did find the following:
52. A Roman Catholic board may establish and maintain programs and courses of study in [b]religious education[/b] for pupils in all schools under its jurisdiction. 1997, c. 31, s. 28.
Saga, that says "religious education". It does [b][i]NOT[/i][/b] say, "education about religions."
And the following:
230.19 (1) Nothing in this Part authorizes the Minister to interfere with or control,(a) the denominational aspects of a Roman Catholic board;
Clear?
Oh, by the way, there's an "opting out" provision for individual students whose parents don't want them reading a particular book or participating in a particular religious exercise:
(2) No pupil [b]in a public school[/b] shall be required to read or study in or from a religious book, or to join in an exercise of devotion or religion, objected to by the pupil’s parent or guardian, or by the pupil, where the pupil is an adult. R.S.O. 1990, c. E.2, s. 51 (2).
Guess what else? [b][i]There is no such provision for separate schools.[/i][/b]
Thanks for pointing me to the law, saga. It's a whole lot worse than I thought.
