Public Servants…or…Public Masters?

By Janice Brauner
"Such a naked display of power wielded against the very folks that pay the salaries of TAC, is repugnant to many AFP citizen leaders. Appalled, Terri Leo [State Board of Education, District 6] fumed; 'Once again it is an absolute outrage that the Texas Association of Counties continues to use the taxpayers’ money to oppose taxpayer protections! Citizens need to recognize these bullies and their use of intimidation for what it is; the ugly face of intolerance for the very taxpayers whose trough they so generously feed upon.'"

Urgent memo to provincial

Urgent memo to provincial Canadian premiers: Do not fight any upcoming election campaigns on the issue of taxpayers supporting independent religious schools. A new Angus Reid poll shows a strong number of Canadians are opposed to provincial governments spending tax dollars to support Muslim, Jewish, Sikh, Mormon polygamist or other kinds of religious private schools, including Christian. I was struck by the strength of the resistance that many Canadians expressed to taxpayers funding religious schools in the Angus Reid poll of more than 1,000 Canadians, which also measured their level of approval of six major religions. testking SY0-101 The Angus Reid poll generally showed that most Canadians, who tend to see themselves as “tolerant,” had highly uncertain feelings about Islam, Hinduism and Sikhism, as well as intermarriage. Begin to read my earlier reports here. However, I was surprised to see that the poll found 51 per cent of Canadians also actively oppose funding of Christian schools. The level of opposition to taxpayer funding of faith-based private schools soars from 68 per cent to 75 per cent for other religions. testking 70-648 This is a revealing finding, given that religious schools have for a long time been supported by tax dollars in many Canadian provinces (since education comes largely under provincial jurisdiction). Ontario, for instance, has long provided almost 100-per cent support to Catholic schools. And B.C. taxpayers provide roughly 50 per cent of the funding of almost any religious private school, including one run by the Kootenay's controversial Mormon fundamentalist polygamists. This polling could help explain why John Tory, the former leader of Ontario’s Conservatives, lost the province’s last election. Tory was largely expected to win the province’s 2007 election until he pledged to extend public funding to all religious schools. ory’s promise, testking JN0-342 which some saw as making concessions to religious minorities, proved unpopular, even with his party’s base. (The religious schools’ arguments that taxpayers can actually save dollars bv partially funding their schools fell on deaf ears.)
