Rationing Popular Demand

Suppose someone tried to pass a law placing a cap on the number of students who could attend traditional public schools. Wouldn't people see that as overly restrictive and discriminatory?

From The Oregonian:

"The [Oregon Education Association] believes the initial enrollment and residency caps are necessary to restrict the unimpeded growth of growth of charter schools."

Let's avoid the loaded language. Restricting "unimpeded growth" is another way of saying "restricting supply and demand." Which is another way of saying "rationing."
