Charter schools are able to hire and fire teachers, administrators and staff and avoid control by education department bureaucrats and the teachers unions.

Catch 22. If these were Christian charter schools few of us would complain about schools that are beyond the control of education department bureaucrats whom we believe have the primary goal of indoctrinating students with the socialist agenda.

You're right.

Maybe we can use this to push for more leeway for Christians to organize charter schools.

I understand the legal issues, but when life deals us a lemon, let's at least try to make lemonade with it.

I'll put up with Muslim charter schools if we can get Christian charter schools — and in an inner-city environment with failing schools, having charter schools run by church groups has already been tried and can work. We send our 13-year-old to an independent fundamental Baptist school that has no desire to be connected to vouchers or anything like that. Many people in my church do homeschooling. The simple fact of the matter is not everybody can afford to make the choice we've made.
