For the same reason those of us who homeschool, or send our kids to private school have to pay personal property taxes to support the public schools.

If this was a refereed debate, you would have just lost by stating my position. Thank you.

OK, so you think that because individual church members pay taxes, then a church should be subject to the same strictures and oversight as public schools, who receive tax money from the state?

Is that a correct assessment of your position?

Only if you referee doesn't know the difference between school district taxes and tax exmpt institutions. By your reducto ad absurdum, we could put the tax exempt ACLU in the same camp and start regulating it, and I am sure you wouldn't want that, 'cause then they wouldn't have the fund to sue taxpayers who do not vote they way they like.
