The ruling was that states can fund religious schools, not that they must. And you need a certain demand to set up a school and then get public funds sent to it. Areas with enough demand to make religious-but-not-Christian schools feasible are also highly likely to be Democratic areas, that don't feel like shitting on the separation of church and state in the constitution - unlike the Republicans who will gladly do so.
