BY THE WAY . . . (Continued from Pago 1) complaint, is that a private school has no right to use the word “Christian” in its name if it rejects the principles of bur eaucrats moving towards totali tarianism. The private school movements however long they survive, are on sound ground. Citizens who are establishing them, and who are supporting them with their efforts and resources, simply want something different. They want a choice. They have been denied their right to choose in the public schools, so they are fashioning for themselves, at their own expense, what they want—and what they believe is best for their children. Meanwhile, they continue to pay their taxes to support school operated by the government, and controlled from Washington. This spirit of independence is not new to America though it sometimes seems to have been forgotten. The crude critics who suggest that the Christian aca demies are not Christian had better think again. The citizens who have established and who are supporting these private schools seek to deny nobody else of his rights, and they do not ask that they be supported at somebody else’s expense. Can their critics say the same?
