The Saskatchewan Party has an opportunity to restore Constitutional Rights in Education. The British North America Act of 1867 , our constitution states clearly that the right to Catholic Education must be respected. It also states clearly that parents have the right to decide the education of their children. These rights are completely non existent in the northern half of the province and are seriously being eroded in the rest of the province. The monopoly Northern Lights School Division admitted that their purpose from the beginning was to drive out Catholic Education . They not only admit it but justify all the violations of parental and Catholic rights by bragging about it. For 22 years parents have been told that “ religion has no place in education ” by the local Northern Lights controller.
Parents have been told that they must hand over their work books from Our Lady of the North School . They are told that they must pull their children because the word God exist in the readers. They are never told that their henchmen have no authority in a private and independent school. It is a matter of common knowledge that our phone and school is tapped.
In other communities that are totally Catholic there are no Catholic library books, Catholic text books, Catholic resources, or Catholic curriculum. People don’t even know that such things exist . Not only are there no Catholic resources there are few Canadian an resources We know of no other school where people sing “O Canada” let alone “ God save the Queen.”
Some years ago visiting grade 12 graduates looked at a grade 4 Canadian History display and made comments such as “ why weren’t we taught any of this stuff? “ I don’t know any of this.” One grade 8 student could not recognise the Canadian Flag.
Apartheid is considered very bad if practised in South Africa as of course it is but what about the apartheid in Saskatchewan where people past a fantasy line north of Prince Albert are treated as if they are not really Canadians ? They know no Canadian history other than distorted whining of grievances. They know no balance of duty and rights, responsibility and reward, effort and attainment. The basic purpose of education to equip people to meet their obligations to themselves and others is non- existent.
They have been educated since the socialist take over of 1970 by people who justify stomping on other people’s ’s rights in matters of conscience and religion. They have grown up in an environment where constant bullying by community controllers has left a wake of violence, enforced ignorance and indifference.
Ask your candidates in the Saskatchewan Party leadership race if they will defend the right to parental choice in education in the South AND in the North of the province.
