Thursday's letters: UCP trying to privatize education
Edmonton Journal 

My question is why are public funds being used on charter or private schools? There is publicly funded school available. Should parents want to opt out of the public system and go into a private system, well, they pay their own way. 

Is this another way to privatize our public system? Oh, that’s the UCP way. Privatize everything and support it with public money.
