Michigan Attorney General’s opinion does not appear applicable, since Brusa school is not a public school supported by the State but a private institution which in American practice can teach any form of religion compatible with public law and good morals. Brusa school would seem to fall into same category, for instance, as Groton or numerous Catholic and Lutheran parochial schools.
