Supreme Court case on Catholic school funding could dismantle separation of church, state

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : But that case turned out to be just the beginning of religious lobbyists seeking government support for every aspect of their schools and missions.
52% : It required courts to examine government support of religion, including funding, under three categories: The government's policy must serve a secular purpose, the primary effect must neither advance nor inhibit religion, and there can be no excessive entanglement.
50% : If St. Isidore prevails, taxpayers will potentially have to foot the bill for Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu and evangelical Christian schools, among others, alongside public schools.
48% : Like many U.S. Supreme Court cases, St. Isidore's is the vanguard for a movement -- in this case a movement that has argued that it is discriminatory to permit charter schools for secular reasons but not religious ones.
46% : In the religious right's universe, this is merely a step toward the ultimate goal of shifting school taxes away from public schools to their own coffers.
43% : " In other words, there are just two choices if the case is decided along the group's "discrimination principles": Religious schools get full taxpayer support, including for religious instruction, religious employees and worship, or the government has to eliminate charter schools altogether.
41% : One alternative could be that states choose to eliminate charter schools altogether, though I'm not persuaded that will stop this drive to amass taxpayer-sourced wealth by religion.
28% : It has been encouraged by the conservative cast of the justices overall, who have recently departed from James Madison's warning about forcing taxpayers to financially support believers' religious education through taxation.
