Fund Catholic: Reva Landau and School Closures

fund catholic: Why do we only fund Catholic separate schools in 2017 in Ontario, which is a very diverse province says Reva Landau of Toronto, who founded OPEN about a year ago and is crowd-funding to help cover legal costs, according to Hamilton Spectator. We believe there should be one non-denominational two-language public school system. Adrienne Havercroft is one of two plaintiffs in the action, which is being launched by grassroots organization One Public Education Now OPEN . The group wants to bring the issue to the forefront at a time when school closures are causing havoc in many regions, arguing that taxpayer-funded Catholic schools are no longer fair or affordable in a society of many religions and cultures. The move comes while the province faces shrinking school enrolment, planned closures of at least 121 schools, and up to 15 billion for essentials such as repair backlogs to keep school buildings running. Landau, a retired business systems analyst with a law degree, launched a similar challenge five years ago. Landau hopes to launch the case before the 2018 election campaign.
