        Or even just getting them to squabble over which Christian denomination the school will follow. Baptist? Mormons? A specific protestant denomination? Or maybe even the gasp Catholics who are swayed by the Pope! Get them to internecine fight over their flavor of God to follow and it’ll break apart in no time.

        It won’t be killed. We’ve already seen them allow bibles in schools while denying every book conservatists don’t want. It’s a double standard that’s not being enforced in the federal court level. And if you think the supreme court will block that then good luck.

          Yeah, this is what’s so frustrating. The Supreme Court has been pretty clear that it will only rule in favor of religious freedom for Christians. Access to abortion is critical for Jews and Muslims for example, but that doesn’t stop them from subjecting all of us to the extreme Christian belief on the matter. They’ve even gone as far as to say that the beliefs of reform or moderate Jews don’t count as Jewish beliefs because only the orthodox count (someone smarter than me can find the SCOTUS opinion that says this, it’s real). So yeah, religious freedom for Christians, no one else.

    This should be an open-and-shut case. This school should just obviously not be funded by the public based on even a cursory reading of U.S. law.

    Unfortunately, in this climate, they’ll probably get double funding now.

      You don’t even need to go to Federal Law for this. It’s not legal under State Law or the State Constitution.

    This is bullshit and whoever is trying to make this reality needs to learn about separation of church and state and ponder it while they have all influence and decision making power stripped permanently since they lack reading comprehension skills.

    It’s all political theater.

    They go in knowing they’ll probably lose in court, and then get to scream about ‘activist, Left wing judges.’

    Actually educating children? Not their concern

    While this might have severe issues with separation of state and church, those people probably are against the idea that someone might teach an unbiased, analytical approach to religion as such…
