Supreme Court Rules Taxpayers Must Fund Religious Schools
July 1, 2020 at 1:12 pm
Quote:The Center for Inquiry condemned today’s Supreme Court’s ruling in the case of Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue for forcing American taxpayers to pay for religious indoctrination, gutting the protections in both the United States Constitution and in No Aid Provisions of three-quarters of state constitutions that forbid the use of taxpayer dollars for religious purposes.

“This Court has been opening a hole up in Thomas Jefferson’s Wall of Separation between church and state,” said Nick Little, Vice President and Legal Director of the Center for Inquiry, an organization that advances reason, science, and secularism. “Now they’ve built a two-lane highway through that hole, inviting churches to raid the public treasury and drive gleefully away with taxpayer money.”

This will backfire when private schools that serve Muslims or Jews also ask for the same funding. Then it will be a violation.

No, it won’t backfire.

I think Jewish schools will be fine, but I’d like to see a rise in pagan schools asking for funding.

Residents of Montana hate gov intrusion and taxes. This might backfire.

Well, if they’re look for new names, I’d like to offer a few suggestions:

-Europe, Jr

-Gunlandia

-Canada With Anger Issues

-Nambia

I’m sure there’s more, but those should get the discussion going.

The Fascist States of Bizarroland? That was a name I came up With over a decade ago that’s somehow even more relevant now than it was when Bush was in office.
