I have known countless people who can't afford a private Jewish academy for their kids and being turned down for funding by the school because of lack of donations grants, etc.

It really did not shine a good light on religious education as a choice.
That it happens at all, is quite sad.

But he wrote a movie with elements about not enough funding...
