I actually said I wouldn't have an issue if this was a private school. I am a jewish guy who graduated from Rummel. I understand you sign up for different things when you agree to go to a private school.

Good point, but the school’s website is pretty clear on it’s standards and requirements, and does not appear to be governed the same as other public schools.

“MCA desires to educate all students who enter our school, expecting nothing less than the best from each one. MCA is a fit for parents and students who wish to make a definite educational choice. Those students who will thrive at MCA are the ones who understand, and whose parents understand, the effort necessary to attain a classical education. Parents and students not in agreement with the mission, philosophy, and policies of the school may not be able to adhere to the stated policies of the school. In such cases, a different educational opportunity may be more appropriate.”
