There's precedent in that.  The Basic Study Manual,
a baby version of the Student Hat, originated at a Los
Angeles area college (publically supported) and was
used in instruction.  It was not a course offered by the
department of religious studies or such.

Actually there has been significant electoral support in
recent years for various schemes which seek to fund
school systems that break out of state control but gain
state funding.   The CoS may well gain many allies if
it keeps pushing for a charter school.

Keep in mind that many LA school teachers, convinced
they know what they need to about educating others,
ignore parental explainations about their children
using "demo kits" at school.  Some teachers keep insisting
that the children "leave their toys at home", when in fact
what they are doing is what their parents insist they do
in the process of study.

I'm no fan of state control of education, and have to
sympathize with someone being taxed for an education
that is repugnant to their values.
