It would seem to me that it would be necessary for the gov't to fund *all* religious schools (and maybe private ones as well) or no religious schools. The only way around this that I could see is if it could be shown that this discrimination is not being applied to individuals, but rather to organizations and thus is not in the realm of the Charter. Any comments from those who are more versed in the ins and outs of the Constitution than I? J.B. Robinson
