Exactly right. I don't give a hoot what the local newsrag says. If you don't want folks that don't send their kids to the school on the board, find a way to refund the taxes they pay to support it. I am sure they would be happy to go away then. Otherwise, you don't get to call the shots.

The law is set up to make sure the education system remains funded and all kids get the chance to go to a school which meets certain standards. In order to accomplish this, all citizens, whether they send their children to private schools or not,are required to pay some form of taxes to support the school. The consequence of this is that they enjoy the same rights with regard to how that money is spent as anyone else. That includes the right to run for the offices. I would tell the windbags to forget the rhetoric and put their money where there mouth is. Test it in court, but they will lose, and waste the money they spent on the suit.
