Private religious school that can admit or not admit anyone it wants. Separation of Church and State you know.

I would agree that the school ought to be allowed to admit or refuse anyone they choose.

On the other hand, I would also argue for admittance in this case (unless there are other problems not mentioned above.) Hypothetically the teachings of the church and school could be the only way the child gets the truth.

However, a charter school that many in Eugene found disturbing because it uses military style dicipline doctrine to straighten out troubled kids was run out of town and barely survived in a Lane County school district outside the Metro area.

In other words, if you as a parent felt your child needed this, you are supposed to be out of luck in Eugene because military stuff angers and scares many liberals here.

Military school wins charter bid

I hope that's true, but to my surprise it turns out our local parochial school takes federal funds for buying 'technology' equipment (i.e., computers for the classrooms).

If Catholic schools accept federal funds, seems to me they might be liable to federal dictates regarding 'discrimination.'
