The fastest way for parents to overcome this is to make arrangement with the religious schools in the area to create “off campus annex schools”, so their kids are technically enrolled in the religious school, but in a building rented by the parents, who also pay for the teachers, as well as administrative costs of the religious school.
Because these annex schools are officially part of the religious schools, they do not need new certification and can begin teaching immediately. In effect they are charter schools without being under the limits set for charter schools. They are also not unionized.

We cannot keep ignoring this government forced indoctrination.
Rahm Emanuel’s bold move to obtain an immediate injunction to force the teachers to resume classes was shot down by a trial court judge today. The court told the parties to be available on Wednesday, which was the date that the union indicated that it would be ready to reopen schools, provided that the written contract was acceptable.
The sticking point was that the teachers did not trust Rahm to issue a contract without some weasel words added in to negate the negotiated terms. The teachers wanted it in writing first.
