 Who said anything about running on "one school system"? That is a red herring Fidel. We have lots of policies on our books that do not see the light of day during the election - thus we pick in choose which ones we campaign on. It would be good to have a policy that the majority support but we don't have to give it top billing.

And you are right, young people don't care - hence the old "religious wars" are passe - they'd rather the "saved money in duplicate infrastructure" go to retrofitting school buildings and making them green friendly, and not having to do endless fundraising. 

And as for ETFO, well they are in bargaining and that is their "pitch." But is the main problem - no!
