Seems to me that those who would have opposed this standard in the Moore monument case are in favor of it here. How so? In the Moore case, a government official was spending tax dollars and using a public venue for religious purposes. Here, the government is refusing to spend money on religious schooling.

Moore's monument imposes neither criminal nor civil sanctions on any type of religious service or rite," the high court majority said. "It does not deny to anyone the right to participate in the political affairs of the community. And it does not require anyone to choose between their religious beliefs and receiving a government benefit.
But you want a different standard for acts that are "for" religion even if they meet all of the standard above.
Amazing.
