Council Opposes Parochiaid Plan A statement re-affirming the tra- ditional opposition of the Jewish Community Council to public sup- port of non-public education was released by the Council's execu- tive committee following its Feb- ruary meeting. Directed particu- larly against "parochiaid" pro- posals to be considered by the Michigan Legislature, the state- ment raises concerns with govern- ment involvement in religious edu- cation and with any diversion of public funds from public school districts already in serious finan- cial straits. Adopted upon a recommendation of the community relations com- mittee submitted by Avern L. Cohn, chairmali, the Council posi- tion is in accord with the pre- dominant views of national and local Jewish organizations. The Council's statement warns that "permanent, full support" of non-public schools could be the out- come, eventually, of direct finan- cial subsidies and it questions the obligation of the state to support competing school systems as advo, cated by some proponents of the "parochiaid" measures. "Any pa- rent desiring to provide private education for his children must be willing to assume the obligation to pay for such services at his own private expense," the statement says, with the state assuming its proper obligation to provide "qual- ity public" education for all chil- dren. Parochiaid Is Subject of Two Area Meetings Parochiaid — the use of state funds for the support of non-public education—will be discussed at two area meetings next week. State Sen.
