I am very leery of our Lutheran Schools accepting money in any form (milk money, playground equipment, etc.) from the State or Federal level. Our church in San Fernando, First Lutheran, had a big school. We did not accept any money from either the state government or federal government. We were offered "milk" money and other things. The reason why we did not accept was because once you "accept" something "free" from the government; then they can hold some control over you. Once the foot is in the door; it is hard to close it. We did just fine without their money!
