By initiating this wholly purposeful public campaign, Pioneer has invited residents of the Bay State to reread their history books and think about the ugly bigotry aimed at Catholic immigrants that resulted in legal barriers against public aid helping sectarian schools even indirectly. Having done that, they can then decide for themselves if it is healthy for a vestige of the Know-Nothing era to deny today's parents a full range of educational choice, including religiously affiliated schools.
Pioneer's campaign is inviting study, reflection, and critical thinking. There is nothing quixotic about that.
