But faiths aren't interchangeable.
My old neighbor had this issue. The Catholic school her kids attended had MANY non-Catholic students whose parents sent them there primarily because it had more discipline than the public schools. The problem came when those parents complained about the overt Catholicism (!) and the school started watering it down. She pulled her kids out of that school (and her family out of the congregation).
If I'm lactose intolerant I'm not going to go to the Fondue Pot and complain that the menu is too full of cheese. Why parents or students feel entitled to do the same with PRIVATE schools is beyond me.
