Again, you avoid the question by poising a diversion - the challenge stands.

The fact is, these people are paid for out of the pockets of those whose 
children attend those schools and out of the church funds.  That makes the 
money rather a "public" thing.  So, if someone within those groups asks for 
an accounting, they should be given it.  Point is, that simply does not 
happen with this group of "schools".
