Where did you get that anyway? Er, I remember it. I recall your saying that you just turned 40, so you wouldn't have had that experience. Your list is just fine for why parents might want to send their kids to a private, Christian school now. But at the time in question, public schools were the equivalent of what Christian private schools are considered now--competent, culturally monogamous, and Christian. The "academies" were created specifically to avoid Federal integration orders. Why they were labeled that, I do not remember clearly. I do know that their founding had nothing to do with your list. My sense was that the "Christian" part had to do with the popular thinking of the time that it was unChristian to mix the races. The "academy" part always sounded pompous to me. It may have been just another word for "private school."
