2229 As those first responsible for the education of their children, parents have the right to choose a school for them which corresponds to their own convictions. This right is fundamental. As far as possible parents have the duty of choosing schools that will best help them in their task as Christian educators. 38 Public authorities have the duty of guaranteeing this parental right and of ensuring the concrete conditions for its exercise.

What a Twit.
Your being nice Ezabelle.
By some accounts, Ms. Snodgrass has spent the last 26 years working in the marketing and communications apparats of various and sundry corporations, business and philanthropic. So, the communications maven bollixes her own communications. Or so she says.
I’m okay with what she said, so long as I get my tax money back that is used for public schools, so I can appropriately budget those funds for my child’s education.
I can see all the people pulling their kids the moment that is a possibility…
As in all things govt, the power to regulate becomes the power to own, operate and control. People are mere widgets in the governmentalist utopia and children are state property to be molded to statism.
If you have kids, get them out of public schools. Most private schools are just as bad, so homeschooling is the best option. But get them out of public schools.
It was clear that public schools were a net negative two decades ago. But now it’s like giving your kid a box of matches to keep himself occupied while you’re at work and hoping that everything goes okay.

Perhaps one of the lawyers who participate here might read this and give us some sense of what Mr. Bioethics would like to do to Canadian families.
Art, thats insane. I’m no lawyer, only a mother. Healthy children don’t require many doctor visits during their childhood because being young and healthy is really an advantage to them. You don’t need to run to a paediatrician or your GP every time a child coughs as there are plenty of over-the-counter remedies. Unless of course the child has a chronic illness, God-forbid, or condition (ie. asthma) or is struck down with a severe illness for a period of time. So why exactly do these paediatricians want to have greater say than parents? Besides $$? Is it because they do not see a child as a patient, but rather; an excuses to use them as guinea pigs to drum up health problems to give them something to do…and more income.
I always say to our GP after a long period of no visits “glad we haven’t seen you in a while”. He laughs.
