Humanist Canada is supporting a Protest Rally on September 13th against Ontario's dual education system in which both Public Schools and Catholic religious schools are funded with Public School tax dollars.  The intention is to try and bring public attention to bear on what is an unfair and discriminatory practice on the part of the Province of Ontario.   The rally will take place on the first day of an Ontario Government Education Summit taking place at the Royal York Hotel, September 13th and 14th.

The rally is being held in cooperation with CFI, Secular Ontario, Civil Rights in Public Education and others. The key question is: Why should Public Tax Dollars, which should go to funding public education in Ontario, be split so as to fund two different education systems in Ontario, one Public, the other Catholic Separate?    A partial answer to this question is that it's in Canada's Constitution.  Yet, that fact did not stop Manitoba, Quebec and Newfoundland from opting out.  Three Canadian provinces have said no to separate schools.  Ontario can too!
