Yeah, but this idea wouldn't involve using the school's own website to
verify the organisation's POV assertions of itself (e.g. 'one of the
most popular schools in the country') but for more mundane, relatively
uncontested facts (e.g. 'at least one of the child's parents must be an
adherent of the school's religion'). We do this already for corporations
- - for example citing the company's official website as a source to
confirm who the CEO is.
