If they're educating the children in the basics - the three Rs - and not just in some kind of political indoctrination, that doesn't offend me. But I am struck by the pseudoreligious nature of the school's mission, including:

Ma'at, the dynamic principles of Right, Truth, and Justice was the source of harmony with self, universe, and the Creator. Eqyptian men and women knew that they must practice the Declarations in everyday life if at death they hoped to be divinely judged and successfully enter the Afterlife.

The Creator? Divinely judged? Afterlife? I'm the first to decry the phony "separation of church and state" argument (never intended by the framers of the Constitution), but I just found it interesting that this is going on at the same time kids in other public schools are prohibited from speaking of such things (especially in the Christian context).

NewHampshireDuo: it seems the Africentric Nubians crush the other schools' sports teams, especially in basketball, if yesterday's scores are any indication!

Some states have grants for charter schools, including religious ones. If they don't extend this courtesy to other Christian schools, then, yes, it is Not A Good Thing (tm).
