WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court Friday agreed to decide whether Montana can block religiously affiliated schools from a state scholarship program intended to help needy families.
Shortly after the program was launched, a state agency imposed a restriction that barred giving any scholarship money to religious schools, invoking a provision of the Montana constitution that prohibits"any direct or indirect appropriation or payment ... to aid any church, school ... controlled in whole or in party by any church."
Lawyers for the women urged the Supreme Court to take the case, arguing that the justices have never squarely ruled on whether the government can block religiously affiliated options from generally available student aid programs.
Religious institutions are already tax exempt. They can fund their own friggin' schools. Tax payer funds should be used to fund public education.
Why do religious schools need aid from the state? If they pray to their their invisible gods. They will be given all that they need. That’s if someone is there and are listening.
Let's just remind the Court, it says separation of church and state.
With all the talk of student loan debt a scholarship to any private college would be good.
Simple ... Separation of state and Church
