Oh, FFS!
Washington (CNN) In a ruling that will open the door to more public funding for religious education, the Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled in favor of parents in Montana seeking to use a state scholarship program to send their children to religious schools.
The court said that a Montana tax credit program that directed money to private schools could not exclude religious schools.
The 5-4 ruling was penned by Chief Justice John Roberts and joined by the court's four conservative justices.
"A State need not subsidize private education. But once a State decides to do so, it cannot disqualify some private schools solely because they are religious," Roberts wrote in the majority opinion.
Tuesday's opinion is a huge win for supporters of school choice programs, a hallmark of the Trump administration, and it will also encourage other states to push for similar programs. https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/30/politics/espinoza-montana-religious-schools-scholarship-supreme-court/index.htmlThe first thing we do ... bcnu,

Order DoJ to vet the fucker's past a little more thoroughly, to begin with?
Then strongly encourage Democratic Senators not to pussy-foot around as they did, but have someone besides an 86-year-old woman grow a pair of balls. --

Yeah, that too. Democratic Senators should have fixed that then. Never went quite nuclear, did they?

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
-- Isaac Asimov

if tax money is provided to private schools, you cannot discriminate based on the private schools
