[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  More choice for parents, more options for children -- how can that be a bad thing?  Don't like it, don't apply.

It can be a bad thing because some of us don't want taxpayer dollars funding a Jewish school -- any religious school. You know, that pesky founding framework for the nation and all.

They say it will not be a Jewish school but some are skeptical, and that's not only OK but to be expected. It's not unreasonable to assume that the school is going to attract largely Jews.

The documents say it will be secular, so I will take that on face value. But, yes, it makes me a bit uncomfortable. Church and state and all that.[/quote]
Funny, I haven't noticed you haunting the threads about Center City PCS, the network of fomer Catholic schools. But I assume you've been watching them very carefully--separation of church & state and all that. Can you share your evaluation of how they're doing keeping the Catholicism out of the classroom (particularly since many are actually physically connected to churches)? Maybe Wash Hebrew can learn from their practices?[/quote]
