The Dog That Hasn't Barked (Yet): Waiting on Trinity Lutheran Church of Columbia, Inc. v. Pauley

It seems quite clear to me that our understanding of the separation between Church and State is twisted, the historical root is one of Faiths being protected FROM the State, not complete non-cooperation. I expect that the law is not fully enforced evenly. Does the MONG have Chaplains? If so then the State is violating the letter of the law unless funding is coming directly from a Fed Source. When it comes to funding of public or non-profit projects they should be based upon the merits of the secular aspects, Just think in the United State if the Parochial and Private Religious schools all closed, forcing the increased educational load and cost onto the Public System. The State should also PAY them to stay open because it would STILL save them $.

Interesting Points and Ideals ... but it leaves a Lot to be answered...

Personally I don't know which side I would side with. The state is right they shouldn't give money to religious organizations. But- they are kids, playing on unsafe playgrounds. But- if they give them money it opens that door that they give money to religious organizations.... so..... it's gonna be a hard decision. I'm glad I'm not a judge.
