There are plenty of reasons why John Tory’s ill-fated faith-based schools proposal didn’t fly, not the least of which was the issue of what compromises faith-based schools would have had to make in order to dip into the public pool. But that doesn’t negate the sheer dishonesty and hypocrisy of Ontario’s left-wing parties against the proposal; it just makes it all the more blatant. Dalton McGuinty claimed to be the champion of public education at a time when his wife works for the Catholic faith-based system, which is affiliated with a Church that McGuinty doesn’t even believe in anyway. And now, no doubt, he will blithely permit race-based segregation in schools according to a politically correct excuse, mere weeks after he extolled the virtues of public schooling as a unifying force. The hypocrisy is disgusting, but it would be funny if it weren’t so pathetic.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
