In an article in Today's Toronto Star, Roger Hyman wonders if providing public funding for faith-based private schools might potentially subvert the existing secular curriculum.

How could a fundamentalist religious school allow the secular curriculum on which our notion of a civil society stands to coexist with faith positions diametrically opposed to that notion?

In other words, why would we publicly fund an education that promotes teachings "which in whole or in part reject the values of the larger society"?

Damn good question, I'd say.
