"Schools that could benefit include two that opened this fall: the Islamic Academy of Saskatchewan, where up to 40% of class time is spent in religious studies taught in Arabic; and Mother Teresa Middle School of Regina, which uses 'Jesuit philosophies, models and teaching methods.' "

Tax payer money spent on religious indoctrination is already an issue up here and this just makes it worse. I support the Canadian Secular Alliance which adopts the viewpoint that there should be one public school system and all other private religious school systems should receive no funding. Here is a link to their mandate which is quite well written, I must say:

No worries, HK, it's Christmas weekend so a lot of your other activities will be closed down. Sabotage away. I'll keep the beer cold for when you get done.

Richard Dawkins has complained about this religiously (see what I did there?), because faith schools are supported by taxpayers in Britain, too.
