colleagues with having their feet stuck in the middle of By Reverend Barry J Dawson The Church of St the Martyr A petition has been In circulation around Acton endorsing a principle I feel to be basically sound and democratic I am speaking of the con scientious efforts of those petitioning the Ontario Government to modify and extend government support to school systems that do not at present receive financial assistance The democratic principle that the grant shall follow the child has wide ranging support and la reflected in the United Nations Human Rights declaration Section 3 that states Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children The fact that those attending the Christian public schools nave to maintain themselves at considerable expense without government subsidy tends to hinder and In some cases prohibit parents from choosing the kind of education they would have for their children If as Canadians we treasure the basic human right of selldetermination then to deny this in the realm of education we jeopardize the principle In general This democratic principle protects a minority group and ensures its rights Exclusive state controlled education forced on all citizens because of economic pressures I find particularly distasteful and dangerous Those who have supported the Christian school system In the past have done so A virtue rarely In evidence today and yet still highly rated in our society To refuse them a basic and human right of selfdetermination by economic pressure Is to my mind tantamount to denying ourselves that same right Fortunately here in Ontario we do have some diversity and choice in the educational system we choose for our children The Ontario public and school systems are both government and available to any person Tax dollars are directed to support the institution designated by the ratepayer I would like to see this privilege extended to any school system that satisfactorily meets the standards set by government Even though I personally choose to support the Public School system with my tax dollar I deem It fundamentally democratic and Just that a fellow citizen have equal freedom to support with his tax dollar another school system If he so desires In denying him freedom we deny our own recommended by a committee townships attend County Council
