So, the current situation is that
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seneca_Falls_%28town%29%2C_New_York

contains the following completely out-of-context and unverified and 
unverifiable paragraph:

"Private education

Finger Lakes Christian School is a private Pre-K-Grade 12 school located 
in Seneca Falls, New York. It shares the building with the 1st Baptist 
Church. The current principal is the Rev. Scott Van Kirk. The school was 
established in 1991. Linked to The First Baptist Church of Seneca Falls, 
its aims were to offer an alternative for Christian children. The school 
has about 75 students. Its admission policy is that at least one parent 
or guardian must be a born-again Christian. As well as the general 
curriculum, pupils at the school attend Bible classes twice a week, and 
students have devotional meetings with their teachers or a Pastor at 
least weekly and have a weekly Chapel service."

I would go in and simply delete it myself and insist that it not be 
added back until someone finds a source better than the school's own 
homemade website, but I don't want to be seen as creating *actual 
policy* in this area by my edits.

I'm just saying.
