My "offer it up" of the day...

Religious school transport privilege axed in Cheshire
May we mothers all see Jackie as an example of Catholic motherhood. One question for those in the UK, do you pay a tax to fund public education that you do not utilize? If so, can't they see this as "getting back" for your funding? If you do not, can the schools or churches help offset this money? It seems a lot to me.
Mrs. Parkes, you have my support and prayers(and I will offer up whatever befuddles me this day to your intentions).
