Public tax funds for all religious schools? Or just certain religions? Probably protests if some states have certain religious schools that conservatives oppose.

I thought that the problem was “activist judges legislating from the bench.” Maybe it’s just the Supremes have a tough time with all that old timey, 18th century English. First it was that whole “well regulated militia” thing, now it’s “shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion.

will be dismissed quickly without prejudice if the lawyers ask a witness or the judges ask the plaintiff one question: We assume if someone submitted a similar proposal to establish a Muslim based place of learning that includes teachings of the Koran, you would support that as well. Correct?

It’s been happening for a long time now in the province of Alberta, Canada. Public system of schools and Catholic system. The problem will be when a whole bunch of different religions want to open their own schools and use this as a template.

So they want a Catholic school to be funded by taxpayers? I assume this means the Catholic church will start paying taxes? Or do they believe they have the divine right to double-dip?

The Catholic Church has the money, but they don't fund its churches. As for paying taxes. More than likely not. This is part of the underlying 'let's copy Hitler movement. The Admin is hoping to have the Church look away, like in the 1940s.

No matter how you look at this issue, it comes down to this: Approval means use of taxpayer $$ to fund a religious dogma to teach unrestricted doctrine and standards. Separation of church and state was established for a reason. Anything else is the beginning of a theocracy.

Oklahoman here. This would be an even more common question if the state superintendent wasn't so radical. Spending $6,000,000.00 of tax payer money to buy specifically Trump Bibles smacks of bias. As a taxpayer, I would want my money back if I had to pay a teacher against MY FREEDOM of RELIGION.
