Anne Bayefsky.The attack on private and Catholic schools by Earl Manners (above) does not come out of the blue. Different people use different tactics.

Just as "gay" activists have used the feminist, "gay"-biased Canadian Human Rights Committees to bash Canadians over the head in favouring every phoney homosexual "right," so too have Canadian radical feminists been working through the United Nations to undermine traditional laws. Their chief tool is to bludgeon everyone else with the demand for absolute equality. That way an 8-year-old child has the same rights as his parents, and any minority, no matter how tiny, must be given equal standing with everyone else. If this is not possible, then the "discriminatory" rights of the others must be removed. History, local, provincial or national, counts for nothing and must give way to abstract principle. Bayefsky published her lengthy attack in the Toronto Star The Toronto Star is Canada's highest-circulation newspaper, though its print edition is distributed almost entirely within Ontario. It is owned by Toronto Star Newspapers Ltd., a division of Star Media Group, a subsidiary of Torstar Corporation. which dislikes Catholic schools almost as much as she does, charging provincial and federal ministers of "violating international law" by refusing to defund de·fund tr.v. de·fund·ed, de·fund·ing, de·funds To stop the flow of funds to: "Some days, they wake up with a burning desire to defund the Public Broadcasting System and the National Endowment for the Catholic schools ("Catholic school funding is unfair discrimination," Sept. 24, 2000).
