One of the biggest wins for liberty in the United States courts was Pierce v. Society of Sisters (1925) which struck down the Oregon state 1922 Compulsory Education Act, a law targeting parochial schools. This anti-Catholic law was strongly backed by the Ku Klux Klan and Democrats.

The article being discussed does not mention what they mean by funding. Does it equate tax exempt status to funding? Are Catholic schools directly funded by the Canadian government?
The article does equate Christian culture with all others and concludes "In a society that claims to treat everyone equally regardless of background, this is impossible to defend."
.. why does western civ have this ideal of "treating everyone equally"? What will happen to this ideal once you eliminate the foundations? Maybe that is the goal?
