From Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: Since June 12, 1984, when Premier William Davis announced his about- face on the issue of extend- ed funding for' Roman Catholic separate schools, it has been a disheartening time for all who care about public _ schools, the democratic process, inter- faith goodwill, and fair and equal treatment for all regardless of creed. All three political parties have turned a deaf ear to these legitimate concerns. Two other commissions on education were ap- pointed that same day. These reports have now been released to the public. The Shapiro Report on the funding of private and secondary education recognized the problems of taxation and funding when major changes in educa- tional policy occur. Both reports mentioned the im- portance of equality. The events of the past year have shown that ex- tended funding has been a most difficult issue for all BOAT DEALER | is having a Low Prices" Lund Boats Larson Bayliner Evinrude Mariner Yamaha A.T.V.s % + % Ht Ht HF Motorcycles, Floating Docks, Chain Saws & Brushcutters.

The Tories are still in disarray ; the NDP is undergoing pressure to change its policy. The Liberals still maintain the bold stance of going ahead at all costs. In the meantime, there are a number of religious and educational groups which are taking the issue to the Supreme Court of Canada. Despite the headline: "*RC Financing Ruled Constitutional", designed to leave the public with the feeling that there is no more to be said, there are serious flaws in the struc- ture upon which "two systems of public educa- tion" could be based. The 88 page minority report of the Court of Appeal's split decision fully explored the legal and historical basis. While all five justice agreed that Ontario has no obligation to fund separate secondary schools, they disagreed on whether such a gift would violate the Charter of Rights guarantee of equality to all Canadian citizens. Equali- ty must be for all, or it is for none. From the beginning of this decision to extend funds, there has been recognition of the difficul- ty. This has resulted in the _ autocratic methods used to slip the funding into place even before legislation is passed. Excessive powers are proposed for the Im- plementation Commission. This would leave public trustees with few options to preserve public education under Bill 30. The feelings of love and pride which Ontarians have had for their culturally rich province have been marred by these recent events. In the years to come, we will have quality education, equality for all citizens and responsible government -- only if we speak up and defeat these principles now.
