      He happens to be on the right side of this issue, but from the totally wrong direction. He’s against it because those scary Muslims might open a school too.

      Make no mistake, if the Catholic Church were permitted to have a public virtual charter school, a reckoning will follow in which this State will be faced with the unprecedented quandary of processing requests to directly fund all petitioning sectarian groups…For example, this reckoning will require the State to permit extreme sects of the Muslim faith to establish a taxpayer funded public charter school teaching Sharia Law. Consequently, absent the intervention of this Court, the Board members’ shortsighted votes in violation of their oath of office and the law will pave the way for a proliferation of the direct public funding of religious schools whose tenets are diametrically opposed by most Oklahomans.

        I want to give the benefit of the doubt here and assume he knows his audience, so playing it this way ensures it gets killed.

        Kind of a does the end justify the means sort of situation…

            I wish more of us gave each other the benefit of the doubt. I refuse to believe most people are assholes… only some. Don’t let the few dominate your thoughts.
