Anything to avoid responsibility for training and educating your own. The truly Godly do not demand the theft of other's property to educate their children and do not blindly follow earthly "leaders". Organized religion inevitably becomes corrupt and a tool to enslave. We have a relatively new charter school in our district, the community took it charter when the district tried to close it and bus the kids miles and miles. Indicators of "academic success" are not good, the principal and teachers are hired out of the district (some employees instrumental in nefarious goings on in the district proper in the past and are very probably sandbagging the kids at the behest of the district). It's a joke. A few homeschoolers went back to school at this charter school and sing it's praises, lots of socialization. I just smile and say "How nice" while thinking "How sad".
