that week but its pre sentation was postponed until this week Reciting a long list of In stances in which he said his civil rights as a Christian parent had been grossly vio lated by the domination of the secularists In the Hal ton school system Campbell said he sometimes wonders if religious persecution against a conscientious Christian parent in his com to nurture his children in the ways of the

concerns which Renaissance had been among the first to urge on the Ministry and which even the Halton Board of Education had shunned when proposed in its first brief by Renais sance He noted the parental wisdom had put Renaisance a couple of years ahead of OSSTF and in that cause had also been calling tor a pluralistic education system lo serve a pluralistic society since its first public
