Right.
I'm just thankful that, growing up in Detroit, I went to a FAKE institution of education, because it prepared me much better than any of the local ACTUAL institutions of education would have. Public schools FTL, whatever the hell that means. You crazy kids and your two-second saving abbreviations.

Every kid that is removed from the public system means that there is less emphasis on fixing the existing problem.
When I look at the public school system here and the one in Canada I wonder why the US with it's very large population (and tax base) can't make it work.

It would seem to indicate that throwing money at the problem is a poor solution, which only makes me more confused about how the atheist's donation was flawed. In any way.
I'm encouraged by the news, because as you say, supporting a private school does so at the expense of public schools. Shitty shitty public schools. If a viable and struggling secular option existed, that might've been the better donation to make, but between Catholic and public it's still a no-brainer: pick the one with better results.
