Paying for free schooling (La Presse)

Jean-François Cantin - Graduate student in Political Philosophy        July 25, 2012

Original French Text: http://www.lapresse.ca/debats/le-cercle-la-presse/actualites/201207/25/48-802-payer-la-gratuite.php

People have been talking about “gratuité scholaire” (free schooling) since the spring.  On the one hand, it is held up as part of a more egalitarian society.  But it has also been denounced as a utopian fantasy brought on by dreamers who don’t have a grasp on reality.  Nothing is free, after all.  Someone has to pay for it, somewhere down the line.  Right?

Certainly.  And no one would ever pretend the opposite.  The heart of the problem is a misunderstanding of what “free” means.

Here is how CLASSE define “free” in their recently published manifesto: “Free does not mean just a price of zero: it means the removal of economic barriers to access that which is most valuable to our society. […] Free means paying as a group for that which we possess as a group.  [It] means equality of access for public services.”

You read right: “Free means paying.”  Paradoxical, yes?  Not really, when you think about it.  Just follow the idea through to its simple conclusion.

Quebec Deserves Better

Collusion
Shale gas
Plan Nord
Tuition fees
Occult financing
Bad management

It took the Charest government over two years to say yes to an inquiry commission on the management and the granting of public contracts in the construction industry, but under 24 hours to adopt a special law that infringes upon civil liberties and that threatens our democracy. 

Quebec deserves better. 

A message from the CSN [Confederation of National Unions]
