[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] Omega, No homeschoolers should recieve vouchers. No one sending their children to private school should recieve vouchers. Those are options that people can choose to take if they so desire, and the government shouldn't hinder their ability to do so, but at the same time, it shouldn't help them do it, either. If religious organizations want to take up a fund to financially help people who want to go to a private school or homeschool, fine, let them do that. But keep the government (be it Federal, State or Local) out of it. Er ... how did we get to vouchers? I was under the impression that Bush's Faith plan was something different. It will still need to pass the Lemon test. Here's a concern of mine. There's 70 Christian Churches, 10 Jewish Synagogues, and 1 Islamic Mosque in the State of "Doofus." The Fed. Gov't appropriates $81,000 to help them out. How does it get divided? Does each get $1,000? Well, while that might sound fair, doesn't that mean the Gov't is thus giving more money to fChristian aiths, and showing a preference in religion? Does the money get divided three ways? That would be, what, a little over $27,000 per group? So the 70 Christian Churches get $27,000, the 10 Jewish Synagogues get $27,000 and the Mosque gets $27,000? And how, pray tell, will the Gov't assure that the religious organizations make sure the money gets spent on non-religious items like it is supposedly for? (Remember the bibles and bench example from early?) Isn't freeing up Church money to spend on religious items the same as spending gov't money on religious items, and thus a violation of the First Amendment? [/QB][/QUOTE]
