Meanwhile, the SCOTUS just ruled religious and private schools can get public money

Soothsayers of old searched for 'signs'.. what does it matter - these are oddballs not "cults"

I guess Scientology is more of a cult based on the little I've heard of people not being able to leave
but otherwise these are not cults

Mormons and JWs are not able to leave without drastic consequences. Plenty of religions are like that. Radical Islam to name one of them.

If the state issues them a voucher the parents paid their taxes to fund that voucher. We the state does not have to spend thousands educating a kid the state should give the parents a voucher for the money they saved.

which is bizarre by any understanding, guess the Establishment Clause doesn’t exist anymore on the right

The Establishment Clause is about the federal government establishing a official state religion. That didn't happen here so the clause is irrelevant.
 
Well I have no doubt that Islamic schools will jump right on that hand out. The more the merrier. They are usually run by donations but a govt funded one probably sounds even better.
 
Those who leave religion are, for the most part, weak people who can not abide rules or the consequences for breaking those rules.

What a minute, “imaginary?” Last I knew teaching religious doctrine is pretty much establishing a religion

With your logic tomorrow morning the Government at any level can ban the production, exchange and sale of all bullets in the US since no where in the Constitution does it say bullets are a right

Yes, Anchovies, it doesn't violate an imaginary "separation of church and state" because that phrase is not in the Constitution.

The Establishment Clause involves Congress establishing a particular religion. This decision has nada, nada, nada, to do with Congress establishing a particular religion.

Allow me to tutor you...the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment does not allow Congress to make Catholicism (or any other religion) the national religion.

See how easy that was, Anchovies?

The bullet issue is tangential, Anchovies.

Poor Anchovies.
