[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ditto on the previous post.  I think a Hebrew immersion school is an inappropriate use of public charter school dollars for the same reason that I think a school based on an in-depth examination of the Kurdish culture and language, or an Ireland-themed school, or an immersion school taught in Old German (as spoken by some Mennonite/Old Order groups) would be inappropriate.  Rather than draw a broad-based group of potential students, it seems like to appeal to a relatively small, self-selected group of people, defined largely along religious, ethnic, or cultural lines, who predominantly want to educate their own children in a particular skill set of interest but to do so using public funds.  If you wouldn't support a Kurdish immersion school in D.C., I'm hard-pressed to see how I'm supposed to support a Hebrew immersion school.  That doesn't make me an anti-Semite.[/quote]

Are they "public charter school dollars" though? Or are they a portion of a family's tax dollars being used in a way they choose?[/quote]
