::::As I mentioned above, some provinces in Canada fund Catholic schools.  See ''Faith-based schools''<ref>Faith-based schools, By Jennifer Wilson, CBCNews.ca, Updated Sept. 17, 2007 [http://www.cbc.ca/ontariovotes2007/features/features-faith.html]</ref> for a good summary of the government-funded Catholic schools in various provinces in Canada.--[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 19:32, 29 October 2007 (EDT)

::::I also mentioned that Victorian schools do not ''censor'' classroom prayer, in Religious Education classes at least.  In addition, I would be confident that the British "faith schools" (see the article) which are not government-run but are government-funded (at least partly if not totally) have classroom prayer.  Actually, Andy, what do you mean by "taxpayer-funded"?  Totally taxpayer-funded, or partially so?  Almost all Christian schools in Australia do get some funding from government (taxpayer) sources, although they are by no means totally taxpayer-funded.  [[User:Philip J.

:::I think it is possible to write primarily for the American audience (since about 50% of our audience is American) while taking into account other countries and do it in a manner that provides clarity.  For example, in the [[homosexuality]] article I clearly label where things are occuring and while I mention mostly American events I do mention events that have occured overseas. I also have no problem with articles like these:  http://www.conservapedia.com/Homosexual_agenda_in_Scotland  Also, I do cite experts in the United States, Britain, Europe, and India.  Lastly, I did create a space for an article entitled "Homosexuality and Islam" and obviously such an article would cover things that are happening in the Middle East and other Muslim countries.[[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 18:31, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
