No, it is not either or, it just is.
Nunavut has already started the process, the precidence is set, it will happen, no matter what the "religious right" states.
So no to publiucally funded religous education of any type.
As for the precedent, I hope your right. But we could speed up the process.
As for the religious schools, I can't imagine Catholics abandoning it without a fight, and if they do fight, I'm sure others will jump in too asking for the same for them. In short, the fastest way to grant FNs their rights is to just give the religious right what it wants.
