Right.  McGreal didn't close the door on the kids - he just  refused to open 
it and told them to go somewhere else.  Thanks for clearing  that up.  I'm 
sure that made all the difference in the world to the  parents and kids who were 
turned away.  Here we have a new principle  in American education, which 
should be called the Hays Principle:  Kids  showing up at the schoolhouse door are 
somebody else's  problem.
