I think they are wrong with their sign”; “They should change schools”; “Well, it is an educational center where they teach not only letters and numbers, but also culture, principles and values”; “Now any neighbor or school in your neighborhood is going to tell you how you dress; that school deserves a lawsuit”; These are some of the reactions that are read on networks.
