The state is giving millions in taxpayer dollars directly to private schools to help them renovate and expand their campuses. It may be the next frontier in the push to increase the use of school vouchers, proponents say.
law paused while they try to work out how to make it legal to only allow good Christian schools
How it usually goes as soon as another religion tries to do it.
Or puts up religious imagery
This is bad. I'm so tired of people doing bad things. Stop undermining public education you donkeys.
It is pathetic in a way how desperate they are to prop themselves up with taxpayer funds. They know their ideas can't succeed on their own merits. They need state muscle to help coerce people to believe their myths.
When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does not take care to support it so that its professors are obliged to call for help of the civil power, 'tis a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one.
I'm a Fiscally Responsible Republican and I'd MUCH RATHER have My Taxdollars go to Church then to STARVING AMERICAN CHILDREN!
-Ohio Republicans knowing their State REJECTED Federal Dollars to Feed Starving Children because it was Deemed Fiscally Irresponsible!
This is literally their thinking.
They alone want to control who gets to benefit from charity. They want to be the arbiters of who is worthy of God's love and who should suffer under his might.

Oh it’s ok I got a more secular education at a religious school in Ohio than my public school friends did
I think it's mainly used to describe something depressing, but weird and cringe work too
Can confirm, I live in Canada and my 13 year old daughter and her friends make Ohio jokes
So how do I do something to help? I live a few states over and don't want my representatives getting any ideas.
I just donated to Freedom From Religion Foundation, which files lawsuits challenging attempts like this to undermine church-state separation
