Indonesia was under tight rule and was a Police State at the time. Constitution of Republic of Indonesia (Undang-Undang Dasar Republik Indonesia 1945), Law No. 62 of 1958. Note, it says 1945, but some things have been updated.

Now, there were other(private international) schools, such as that, that supposedly Ann Dunham was trying to get a job in per her statements in the passport records of Lolo Soetoro, but we do know for a fact that Obama attended Indonesian schools, not private ones that were vedry expensive. Here is a report from 2001. Why anyone in their right mind would take a child to this place during a time of revolution is beyond my comprehension. But then, I was raised as a patriotic American, not a communist sympathizer.

Oookay...but where's your source that non-citizens were prohibited from attending public schools?

I take it you haven't looked at Lolo Soetoro's immigration records. He and Ann spent a year or two asking for him to be reclassified a U.S. permanent resident so he wouldn't have to return to Indonesia after his visa expired. The request wasn't granted, Lolo returned to Indonesia in 1966, and after another year when Ann couldn't get US immigration to change its decision, she finally moved to be back together with her husband.

That's a good thing, but it appears you also don't have much sympathy for women who prefer not to live in different hemispheres from their husbands.
