I’m happy to pay taxes to support public schools because I recognize that having an educated populace is a public good.

However, I would deeply resent my tax dollars paying for religious indoctrination and the undermining of public schools.

There is nothing good in this and I wish but dare not hope that the SCOTUS would agree with me.

That’s quite a deal for all those churches that pay no taxes, but will benefit from those of us who do. Same old same old. With an extra bonus of religious indoctrination

@bridgetc253 This money would (obviously) be better used to improve the public schools that serve everyone. But religious zealots don’t actually want to do things that benefit everyone. Something a lot of people need to realize.
