My only question is how do you separate just plain instruction from
religious instruction at an institution whose entire focus is religious?
That proved to be one of the primary problems experienced by Jewish Children
who were sheltered in convent and monastic schools during the Nazi period.
Their lives were spared, and that is wonderful, but many of them experienced
much identity confusion. How do I make sure my tax dollars, when spent at a
religious institution aren'f spent on religious instruction?

I'm sure we would get along fine. Actually, I get along fine with most
folks. In a more balanced environment I'm not nearly the curmudgeon I may
seem here.
