Isn't it just a matter of supply and demand? That's the linchpin of capitalism, no?
Capitalism is the epitome of personal freedom, isn't it?
When a neighborhood changes, because people of the same religious observance want to live there, together, that's capitalism, supply and demand.
When a religious school finds its building insufficiently large enough to hold the students who want to study there, supply and demand, capitalism, make it necessary for the local government to approve its expansion.
Is there a quota on the amount of a certain jeans or sports shoes that can be sold? No. When there's more demand, more are produced.
In suburban Great Neck, New York, the North Shore Hebrew Academy leased a public school building, because the neighborhood changed. There weren't enough children registered in the public school system in the district to fill all of the buildings and classrooms, but there was a shortage of space for all of those registered in the Jewish elementary school.
If the United States is a country which promotes personal freedom, freedom of religion, then the Westchester Day School must be allowed to build its new building.
