It seems a bit weird that this professional politician is proud of what some other people have done, to wit, decided to arrive in the country on vacation by plane or cruise ship. Can I be proud that there was a blizzard in California and that it snowed in Boston today?
There is a flaw in the argument presented by the writer of this letter: he writes, " Receiving taxpayer’s money should mean that those institutions provide appropriate education for all taxpayers’ children". This is his opinion only. Should the Ministry of Education compel an all-girl school to accept boys, or vice vera, if they are receiving a subvention. What about if the child of a Satanist family wishes to attend one of the schools owned by a church denomination? Should the government be forcing the school to accept that child even though they wish not to do so? And yes it is understood that this latter scenario is unlikely to happen in the near future, but a principle is under consideration here which should be universally applicable.
