Academic/Literary quotes


Academic


 "If you don't agree that the ideal educational environment is one where all parents are self-reliant then you might need me to  say a few words about how vouchers would affect Catholic schools. I grew up in Ontario, Canada. Catholic schools there have long received public support:  non-Catholic religious and independent schools don't. But in Ontario, almost without exception, these Catholic schools are Catholic in name only. In curriculum, including the health curriculum, they are virtual carbon copies of the government schools. In fact, some parents believe the sex-ed in the government schools is tamer. The bishop has virtually no control over the schools: he is but one vote on a huge board dominated by Catholic teachers-union types."

- Douglas D. Dewey, Executive Vice President, Children's Scholarship Fund, speaking at a Faith & Reason Institute sponsored debate and discussion on the potential benefits and dangers of government vouchers for Catholic schools, 19 May 2000.
