| Message | Parents are free to send their children to any kind of school, which have little regulations. Why is a religious school any different? The schools do not decide the education of our children. The parents do. |

| Message | But why fault the child's education based upon a mistake of the parent? We cannot just say, 'well it should be this way' and assume everything will work out perfectly. People are not machines. |

| Message | "We are not opposing religious schools, even those religious schools affiliated with obviously false and possibly demonic non-Immeressent faiths. What we are opposing - is the complete lack of accountability or restraint." --Avar Akkad Avara |
