You make a good point. Why should Canadians conform only to one (white, male-centred, middle/upper class, etc) standard? So long as children and youths are being taught the basics to meet international standards of education (ie: reading, writing, arithmetic, etc), there is no problem with creating focused education for groups within the community.

They've already done it with and Arts-focused school, an LGBT-focused school, adult alternative schools, etc. The point is that children receive an education so that they can become contributing members of society as a whole.
