Somehow there continues to be confusion about where the government’s money comes from.

If there were any doubt what this new Supreme Court is all about, they are showing their true colors now. It is unfortunate. Truly our previous president has been a disaster for the people. His justices are going to erode our rights.

I don't have a problem with it ONLY IF we start taxing the denominations whose schools they are sponsoring.

Interesting point. Im all for revoking tax exemptions anyways; this seems to work out as a nice compromise. Naturally, it'll never happen because it seems to be just the right amount of common ground and common sense!

It will be interesting what happens when the "wrong" religions want in.

As long as electoral college is in play, the wrong religion will never win.

A rural voucher is a reasonable solution.....but we all know where they're going to take this. Betsy Devos is grinning ear to ear with dollar signs in her eyes.

It is only a start. Far from a compromise. I would be pretty upset if my tax dollars were going to a school that is discriminatory based on faith, or doesn't teach to the state/federal guidelines at a bare minimum.

No, they are going to still want to keep their tax exemptions. Won't be long before they hand over Social Security to Wall Street Gamblers.

As long as it isn't the government establishing a religion or prohibiting the fre exercise of religion, it's good.

I so hope Muslim Schools teaching from the Koran about the Infidels and green-eyed Devils get Billions for their schools. That would be so funny seeing their political decisions used by the religions they hate.

How about next time a little more thorough review, rather than that first grade 10 word overview from NBC news.

Does this ruling ruling distinguish which 'religious' schools can and cannot partake? Me thinks you should brush up on your CONUS knowledge...

So, the Satanic Church has been granted tax exempt status from the IRS. If they should open a school in Maine, meet the state's educational requirements, but teach about the Satanic Church, as a Maine taxpayer you'd be okay with your tax money going there?

I don't think you understand how taxes work...

The issue isn’t where your tax dollars go, bc ultimately you have zero say in that. The issue is if the government doesn’t offer a public school for your kids, they shouldn’t be allowed to tell you which schools you can spend that stipend on.

But IMO this is exactly how things should work. School choice should be exactly that, choice.

1. How many posters actually read the opinion?

2. How many actually read the First Amendment, and maybe did some research?
