Which children would Jesus think were not worthy of a high quality education? Would you deny Charter School admission to the boy Jesus because his parents didn't work in The Villages? As you do it to the least of these children, you do it to Him. Legality has nothing to do with it. It may be legal, but it's clearly WRONG!

This is almost funny, considering most of the criticism against public charter schools centers on teachers' unions condemning charter schools for being a
poor-quality education....and opponents' mantra of supposed "
separation of church and state"!
And, Jesus AKA "Rabbi" was a teacher.....in a
theocracy....which I don't think anybody here wants.
I think it's a great idea to encourage and enable
productivity, by incentivizing parents to stick with their employment thru thick and thin, thus
developing tenacity and work ethic which every child needs to see lived out to achieve a
complete education.
