End church control

TO “cherish all the children of the nation equally” there is one thing the Government can do in the wake of Murphy report: end Catholic Church control of our schools.

While it should still be the right of school boards to preach and teach the Catholic faith, why should the church itself have an automatic input if it doesn’t have any financial input? The days of church brainwashing are over. It’s up to the Government to deliver, for once.
