One School System Network Press Conference-Malcolm Buchanan

On Friday, June 22, 2007 at 10 AM in the Media Room at Queen's Park a new organization, One School System Network (OSSN), will introduce itself and its 10 current member organizations: OSSN seeks the elimination of religious discrimination and costly duplication in the Ontario school system through the establishment of a single, secular, publicly funded school system for each official language (English and French). OSSN calls for a merger of the assets of Ontario's public and separate systems in the new English and French secular systems. OSSN calls upon the Government of Ontario to uphold its obligations under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and various international human rights instruments by withdrawing public funding for all sectarian religious schools. OSSN encourages the Liberals and NDP to join the Greens to support one publicly funded system for each official language to avoid the costly and socially divisive Conservative proposal for extended funding.

what's the point? Canada has the worst school system in the world anyways, why don't they let students graduate after they've pass their diploma exams?? so stupid and worthless, that only speaks for itself this is a stupid country.

It's about time people spoke the truth. All private education should be completely banned from Canada. Segregation based on religion is just as sick as segregation based on socio-economic class.
