You do understand that school choice is a state issue and not a national issue? The Federal Government doesn't have a say on school choice.

It’s a school that belonged to one community and now will likely belong to another, that’s it. Not rocket science. Kids are kids. There will always be good and bad in every community.

Let’s just all focus on why we are here which is education for children, that’s it!
A public school belongs to the entire community.
That comment is kind of telling, isn’t it? They don’t see themselves as part of the local community and don’t seem to want to be.

There are Jewish and Catholic private schools that no one blinks an eye at kids attending. It makes sense that some Muslim families would choose an Islamic private school. I don't begrudge parents making that choice for their child.
I don't understand why there are some posters that seem to think that we should be worried about the KAA families in this thread, what happened to the school is not a FCPS issue. But I don't begrudge anyone the choice to go to private over public school. And I don't think that most parents are disparaging public school kids when they make the choice to go private.

So they just wanted to pack up their things and leave. Now it’s up to the next owner to either be able to maintain this school or again, in a few years put it up for rent or sale. That’s just how most real estate works, they travel hands.
That tuition is still unreasonably low.
