Religious Right Wrong for Ontario Schools June 8, 2007, Toronto - Freedom Party of Ontario leader Paul McKeever today is calling a proposal to fund faith-based schools with tax revenues a step in the wrong direction. Canadian Press reported today that Progressive Conservative leader John Tory will make tax-funded religious education a plank in his party's 2007 election platform. "The happiness found among individuals in the western world can be attributed solely to the results of logical, independent thought about the scientifically-provable facts of nature", says McKeever. "It is not founded upon unquestioning belief. "John Tory's proposal is nothing less than a call for a tax-funded assault on science and rationality. The Progressive Conservatives are declaring themselves the party of the religious right. This is a frightening proposal." Freedom Party released its education plank for the 2007 election on October 5, 2007.
