Today's tonic: "York’s Catholic school trustees are abusing their power by refusing to raise the Pride flag. Their day of reckoning is coming"

Today's tonic: "York’s Catholic school trustees are abusing their power by refusing to raise the Pride flag. Their day of reckoning is coming," by Martin Regg Cohn

I couldn't  agree more with the columnist on this.  

It's long past time for an Ontario leader to be brave enough to take on this sacred cow of a separate system just for Catholics and unite our public education systems to end this systemic discrimination based on religion.  No faith should have special rights in modern Ontario.  

 In 2007, the public made clear in that provincial election (with the crushing defeat of John Tory's PCs who advocated that year expanding funding to all religions) they certainly don't want to further silo off our public education system to create even more religious public schools.  

Instead, the solution to this discrimination is clear: one system for all.

Flags signal the occupiers and governance. The actual "all inclusiveness" is lost as raising a pride flag denotes they {pride} are the lawmakers in the institution rather than everyone.
The same as what a conservative or liberal flag would suggest.
A lot of lather for a small % and their sexual choices.

Not sure where in the New Testament Jesus says homosexuals are to be discriminated against.
