Gee I wondered what happened, literally overnight, to drag this school down to ‘Thug Level’????

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

But,,,hey!,,,When it comes to First Amendment Rights forget it. Forget about any constitution and human right to free assembly. Government can and does threaten good kids with armed police action if they fail to show up at “Thug School”.

Well, to give my beloved Virginia some small measure of credit, this is I think the only state with a religious exemption to it’s compulsory schooling statute. We actually have a provision for religion based conscientious objection, and it’s how many home educators in Virginia operate. Of course I would prefer that the General Assembly simply got rid of the compulsory schooling statute, but that’s probably not going to happen for awhile.
