Let people express their views. It is not anti anybody to seek equality and tolerance. These schools were built with State money on land donated to the churches by local farmers or community organisations. This is the people's money. State ownership of schools does not affect Catholic control. Of course there should be parental choice and if parents want Catholic education they should have it. As taxpayers we should own the buildings we fund. It is that simple.
