When you say 2nd Amendment, are you speaking of freedom of the press?
 
Well, time to join the satanic church, start a day school and request state funding. Thanks SCOTUS.
 
The court again ruled against religious freedom by saying citizens can be required to pay for Christian religious indoctrination.
 
If true, that's incredibly AWESOME!

Seems like the simple solution here would just be to create public schools in those areas.

3 kids? That's fine.

There are public schools. Also private secular schools. And religious schools. State prohibited tax money going to religious schools. Radical right wing activists on court said discrimination against Christians. ABM, typically, lives it, not being big on First Amendment, but wonder how he would react if Islamic school wanted his tax money?

I thought the Supreme Court ruled that state money could go to religious schools only when there were no public schools?

No. Maine offers tuition assistance for private schools with stipulation that it not be used for religious schooling, Vermont has similar law. Court said has to include church schools.
Any time Christians demand rights over rest of us it's called religious freedom. Deny employees birth control? Refuse services to gays? Violate public health mandates during pandemic? Sectarian prayer at public events? Health care workers refuse to provide health care? Just say Jesus and hallelujah, it's legal.

Hmm... In that case, maybe cut off all funding for private schools. Everybody can just go to public schools unless they want to pay out of pocket.

What a concept! Sounds exactly how it was when I was a kid in the '60's and '70's. My folks didn't want to send my siblings and I to what they considered substandard public schools (even though one was literally right next door), so they exercised their constitutional right to pay for Catholic schools out of their own pockets. The only "government funding" those schools got was surplus food for hot lunches (Basically the leftovers after the public schools got theirs). If parents want their kids to have a religious education, then it is on the parents of those kids to pay for it. I damn sure don't want my tax dollars going to fund whack job ideas. We can already see the negative effects religious "education" has had on the current Republican Party.......
 
The other thing that strikes me is that the right does not want any kind of teaching that will make (white) people uncomfortable (CRT, slavery, homosexuality, trans issues, etc, etc, etc) but they want the a constitutional "right" to force their religion in the faces of a majority who either aren't interested, don't believe in it, or who believe that religion is a personal matter. AND they want us to pay for the "privilege". It's like they wear their hypocrisy like a badge of pride. Next it will be Republican Sharia Law for the masses. And anyone who believes that to be hyperbole is an ignorant, brain dead moron.........
 
Some small towns in Maine don't in fact have public schools although you could argue they should. So state covered tuition for secular private school.
 
Not sure why religious schools should be allowed at all as an alternative to public school, regardless of self-funding. Indoctrinate the kids after hours and on weekends if you desire.

Agree 100%. If what you are teaching doesn't meet the curriculum those kids should be in a real school.
 
Roberts court ruled in favor of churches more than 80% of the time. Vastly more than any in history.

Many non religious people don't want their kids indoctrinated by woketards. And it's not only white people that oppose it either. I would parrot your last line back to you for complaining about the fact that many strongly oppose toxic leftist indoctrination.

I used to consider myself left, but they've gone insane.
 
Can someone define woketard?
Sounds like new iteration of politically correct. Don't know what it is but sounds bad.

A woketard is someone who has lost their connection to logic and reason, and instead embraces the warped ideas of cult woke. Like if you believe churches should be closed but blm rioting is good for public health.

If you believe that silence is violence but violence is not violence, you are a woketard.

If you believe that cutting off children's genitals is a sign of social progress, you are a woketard.

Well so far the Court has eviscerated both Miranda rights and ANY gun control legislation (striking down a CENTURY-OLD NY law against concealed carry).

Sure is great to live in a country effectively ruled by 9 unelected monarchs, 5 of whom are effectively right of Hitler.
