All government owned and run schools are **government** schools. They are NOT NOT NOT “public” in any manner. The government strictly controls and restricts those who will be allowed to enroll or leave their government assigned school.

A good example of “public” would be Mc Donalds or a state or federal park. There anyone can use the facility regardless of age, gender, race, or religion.

In my opinion calling government owned and run K-12 schools “public” is a lie. Christians shouldn't lie even if others commonly do about government owned and run K-12 schooling.

I am not getting into this useless argument, but I do need to bring something to your attention about this statement. McDonald's may be open to the public, however it is still a private establishment and in no way is equivalent to a state or federal park.

If I am the owner of that particular McDonald's I am perfectly within my rights as the owner to restrict who enters based on whatever criteria I choose - such as not permitting children under a certain age unless accompanied by an adult.

Unfortunately you are like far too many around here that equate being open to certain segments of the public with government operations. They are not the equivalent, nor will they ever be such.

That you do not understand the difference negates any credibility such an argument may possibly have had.

This is an out right lie.

Public school are required to admit any and all students that apply and live within that district. You need to learn something about education Law. at the same time any student that has reached the age of 16 has the option to drop out.

Now that being said Students can be removed from public schools at the schools discretion for behavioral reasons but these are few and far between.

Frankly as I have told you on previous occasions I have a number of students that should be removed.
