SC just ended separation of church and state.

[Ms. Toad]

84. This is not a significant change. I'm actually surprised there are dissents.

Separation of church and state means the state cannot further or hinder religion. Specifically, as to schools, for decades it has been interpreted to mean that once the school opens it's doors to private activity, it cannot open it doors only to secular activities. In this instance, the activity is giving vouchers to allow parents to use public money for private schools. Once it has made that decision, it cannot prohibit them from choosing a particular school merely because it is religious.

I don't t think public money should be going to private schools, period. But that ship has apparently sailed, making this decision entirely predictable.

Is no one aware of bussing to Catholic schools, textbooks paid for in religious schools, state scholarships which can be
used in religious schools, to name a few very old uses of public money to fund education in a private religious school.
