If this noxious idea gets a thumbs-up, then every religious school of every religion will have to get equivalent funding. That’s every single Christian academy, Jewish day school and yeshiva, every Muslim madrassa, and every Wiccan academy. Not to mention the Church of Bob’s school. All of them.
The Church of Satan and the Church of Scientology will be ecstatic to hear that Conservative Supreme Court judges want to spend public tax dollars to help spread their faith and indoctrinate young children.
Republicans should not be shocked… if they weren’t so stupid.
This Supreme Court seems to despise the constitution. Their own personal beliefs are more important than the hundreds of millions of people who are counting on them to do their job of upholding the constitution; they would rather rip it up
Great so young Americans will be forced into more ignorance, more indoctrination and more hatefulness for anyone without the same beliefs. America is the shithole of the world.
And Project 2029 will end Citizens United, and tax the churches. This is just the beginning. Time to start listing and campaigning on things that will Actually make things better. SCOTUS is also at the top of that list. Clearance Thomas has got to go and he is not the only one.
So some of the federal funding that Chump is withholding, could then be used to fund this and like schools. Prepare for more and more federal funding to be withheld for future such wrongful deeds.
We know the Catholic Clergy have delivered time and time again. They have promoted the Heritage, republican agenda for years fromthe pulpit. Cardinal Dolan's ROI is favorable rulings from SCOTUS and other elected republicans. Clergy that speak out are threatened with losing their pensions.
It is really beyond acceptable for Jews to have to pay to send your kids to a Catholic school or for atheists to send any to any religious school. If you want your child to go to a religious school, that is your choice, you pay for it.
It means the religious schools get to ban whoever they want from attending for “religious reasons” while having no state oversight and continued taxpayer funding.
Burn all churches to the ground ...it is a front where con men take advantage of the mentally ill. Its where magats come from....if you ars part of one of these scams then your as bad as the nazis
And down the slippery slope we go! It's pretty obvious that this is a giant can of worms being opened. Should they pry the lid off of this Pandora's box they will be forced to hear a multitude of cases re non-Christian charter schools. Fundamentalists v fundamentalists! Be careful what you wish for!
The conservatives on SCOTUS are a domestic terrorist cell that need to be arrested charged tried and convicted….Final solution their NAZI asses on the WH lawn and televise that shit
If that’s the case, I hope MAGA is ready for the natural consequence … non-christian religious public schools. What’s good for the goose is sauce for the gander.
So much for following the literal word of the Constitution. That line from conservative justices throughout the years was all bullshit. The constitution clearly states a separation of church and state.
Is it some sort of taboo
to notice all
6 GOP SCOTUS justices are
right-wingers catechized
in the Catholic Church?
The sons & daughters of
the Inquisition?
Such types would never
have written the US Constitution.
Just fine with
monarchy & state religion,
the whole 9 yards.
“Separation of church and state” is a pretty well-known and undisputed part of the Constitution. I’d really love to know what BS the justices come up with to justify such a blatantly unconstitutional ruling.
The fastest, most effective way to create an atheist is to attempt to force people into religion. Especially if that religion is clearly immoral. I'm not talking about Christianity, I'm talking about Hitler's version of it, "Positive Christianity." It can only work if there are no minorities.
Needs to be a law/change in constitution where taxpayers can pick where our taxes go if we want a trillion dollar defense or a trillion in public schools/teachers. I'd rather have a trillion allocated to teachers.
You do not advance religious freedom by publicly funding a school run under a single religion. Publicly funding a school surrounding a single religion does not advance religious freedom.
Public charter schools ARE Public and have to follow all state Public school requirements, like graduation requirements, mandatory state testing, Federal IEPs, etc. and they are BARRED from any religious indoctrination.
THAT is why this case is such a huge change and should not be allowed by SCOTUS.
Then time to Tax The Churches!!! If the tax money of non Christian’s must fund Christian schools then Christian churches can pay taxes to fund everyone else’s churches.
There is NO longer any fucking thing "Supreme" about this Court unless you count how SUPREMELY corrupt & dangerous they are. They are NO longer America's TOP Court but rather the Agents of the Trump Team & the Religious Zealots. Shameful.
When government gets involved with religion, it inevitably makes choices that favor certain religions and disfavors others. (In practical terms, where is the Muslim charter school or the atheist one?)
So an honest reading of the establishment clause implies a separation of church and state.
True.I'm not for Govt. funding of religous schools of any type.
But when constitution was written this section was about founders not wanting a "Church of England" type situation. Implies means interpretation which is scotus. We'll see, they are all over the board with their
interpretations.
The separation of church and state is a principle that ensures government institutions and religious institutions operate independently. It's rooted in the First Amendment's Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause.
This is establishing a state religion when the same parties pursuing and endorsing this would fight against a Hindu or Muslim or Satanic charter school. Also, the Catholic Church does not need public funds for anything. It's the richest entity on earth.
Nah, if they open the door to this its just means Govt. can't treat freedom of religion as 2nd class right when qualifing for funding.
And then the Muslims and Satanists will jump on board. It doesn't need to happen. But SCOTUS has been politizied like everything else.
Clearly, you have more (unwarranted) faith in the OK government than I do. They will absolutely not give tax dollars or charter licenses to schools of other faiths.
A sad day in America, but if they are so religious and Christian, why did they arrest Reverand Barber because he was praying?They are very selective in who they leave alone and who they go after. Got to pray 'right' it seems.
The fact that organized religion is still a thing just shows how pathetic and hapless humanity still is.
If we can’t evolve past the literal Stone Age, then we are doomed
Then time to Tax The Churches!!! If the tax money of non Christian’s must fund Christian schools then Christian churches can pay taxes to fund everyone else’s churches.
Well, there would go the Fourteenth Amendment that prohibits the government from funding or promoting religious education, effectively limiting the ways taxes can be used in education!! This SCOTUS seems to be ignorant about the Constitution and shouldn't be seated as Supreme Court Justices!
So every child that the religious schools don’t accept yet accept government funds (based on religion, ability to pay, intellectual ability, disability, behavior issues, parents not connected, inability to fundraise, etc), should heartily sue.
Why would she recuse? She got paid for her opinion and those investors deserve a return. Thomas has been doing this for years without a second thought.
Tax the churches. They'll immediately beg for going back to a real separation of church and state. This shit is disgusting and unconstitutional to say the least.
And the ones that vote yes on this should be removed from the bench for failing the Constitution.
No state funded religion, yes that means even schools you fucking traitors.
Right because the christofascists in charge will totally let that happen. Stop thinking about "using their own stuff against them" because those plans don't fly under an authoritarian dictatorship.
You've never read their Bible and it shows. The only thing misguided in it is the belief in imaginary friends, just like most other forms of Western religions, and some Eastern ones as well. Overall it teaches belief in self and being kind to others and not reverence to a higher power.
It’s true I haven’t read the satanic Bible (mostly because the belief is unoriginal and boring) But I know all about satanism and its tenants. Mostly from talking to satanists and what they put on their websites. It is most definitely Christianity for angry misguided teens. Are you a satanist?
At least there they'd learn real morals instead of whatever the fuck Christianity has been teaching their cultists. Imaginary friends aren't real anyway, why should my tax dollars fund delusion?
"What is the probability of a Sun-like star forming in the right location, an Earth-like planet with stable conditions, and the spontaneous emergence of the simplest life-supporting molecule (such as catalytic RNA)?"
There's more evidence for that than there is for the Christian creation myths. If there was a creator, we can be pretty sure it isn't the one Christians currently believe in.
Life’s origin is just the start—cells are irreducibly complex. A cell must be fully functional to survive, yet science can’t explain how RNA could form or persist outside one. Now add the complexity of evolution to a full ecosystem (plants, animals, decomposers), and random chance collapses
The universe isn’t infinite in time or usable resources—both of which are required for your argument. The age of the universe and the number of available particles set real limits. Saying 'it was bound to happen eventually' without infinite trials isn’t scientifically credible
That is the probability of the exact same thing that has already happened by chance, happening again.
Like the probability of last week's lottery numbers coming up again this week.
Basically, you are peddling an argument from personal incredulity logical fallacy.
The odds aren’t about repeating life’s origin; it’s about the specific molecular arrangement needed to support life, which is incredibly unlikely. Comparing this to a lottery misses the point—life requires functional complexity and precise molecular interactions, not just randomness or repetition.

What happened to separation of church and state?
Republicans should not be shocked… if they weren’t so stupid.
Trump was voted into office by
77 million ignorant old
Elon Musk“ white nationalists”
and dead-letter-literal-interpretation of the Bible,
Christian fundamentalists,
Mike Johnson “Hypocrites”.
Donald Trump is a symptom of
an American “Cultural Schism”.

Literally ISIS.
This country was founded on freedom of religion.
Unconstitutional.

I really hope in USA 2.0, no religious group has any power whatsoever.
Enough of this b.s.
we see the effect in MO and AZ.
religious schools will siphon off all the money and leave students behind to work in factory as slaves.
this is the MAGA vision for the future.
better stop them now.
THAT is why this case is such a huge change and should not be allowed by SCOTUS.
There is No seperation of church and state in the Consitution.
It is No Govt. established religion.
So an honest reading of the establishment clause implies a separation of church and state.
But when constitution was written this section was about founders not wanting a "Church of England" type situation. Implies means interpretation which is scotus. We'll see, they are all over the board with their

I get your point.
And then the Muslims and Satanists will jump on board. It doesn't need to happen. But SCOTUS has been politizied like everything else.
Jewish school pro Jewish leaning
Muslim school same
Government school pro Government leaning.
What happened to protection for all the People 🇺🇸🙏🏿
May his noodely appendages be upon you.
R'Amen!
If we can’t evolve past the literal Stone Age, then we are doomed
If they allow it then they have to allow every single religion to do the same... and presumably with identical funding level.
To be honest I'm hoping it passes and some rich as fuck Saudi prince decides to troll MAGA by funding 10 for every one
But they'll never say yes to Muslims, Jews, or anyone else.
Almost as if they know the answer they want and find a way to back into it no matter what the facts or law say.
No state funded religion, yes that means even schools you fucking traitors.
ChatGPT = P ≈ 1.1×10⁻51
Believing in those odds is quite delusional
There’s nobody around to experience all the times and places life didn’t evolve. Wherever life exists, it will seem miraculous.
Like the probability of last week's lottery numbers coming up again this week.
