That is an interesting idea... I had something similar as I went to a small christian school. Started out with 8 people but grew to maybe 6o by the time I left. The only worry with that is what happens when one hits the 'real world' or, in my case, the public schooling system later.
If one doesn't learn to deal with the hurt that results from being excluded sometimes then it can be harder to learn WHY excluding people isn't nice.
It is a fact that we seek certain people more than others, however. It is a fact that some people are excluded sometimes. Think about immigration to the US as an example...
I do think it is nice.
The world doesn't work that way.
But perhaps it should.
And perhaps the way to get it to work that way is by starting somewhere.
Maybe we have a clash of ideology here...

Ah, I guess we may have different views on research.
I really do hear what you are saying. I am thinking about it. Maybe you are going to get me to change my mind on this....
But I still like the idea..
