Saving Catholic schools - baltimoresun.com: "Two things should be done. The first is symbolic. We need the state's top officials to step forward. Ideally, Gov. Martin O'Malley, himself a product of Catholic education, flanked by the state superintendent of schools, the Baltimore schools CEO and others, should make clear that Maryland supports all great schools, and that the closure of any of these - Catholic or otherwise - is a loss for the state.
This would not represent narrow state support for religious schools; on the contrary, it would demonstrate our leaders' agnosticism about who operates a school. It would show that they equally support all excellent schools - traditional public, charter public, secular private and faith-based - especially when they help our most at-risk children.
The second change is legislative."
