Dems' Build Back Better plan blocks religious schools from using infrastructure money to improve facilities
Fox ^ | 04 November 2021 | Jessica Chasmar

President Biden's and the Democrats’ Build Back Better Act includes a provision that specifically prohibits religious schools from using infrastructure grants to improve their facilities.

The bill, which House Democrats hope to vote on this week, includes a provision that provides infrastructure grants to improve child care safety, specifically to help child care providers "acquire, construct, renovate or improve" their facilities.

However, further down in the bill’s text, it includes a prohibition against religious organizations like churches and synagogues that also have schools or child care services from using funds....

More evidence of the left wing’s hostility toward religious faith. they really want to stamp it out, but the First Amendment keeps getting in the way.

Apparently its all a bout setting yp a whole new group of interest groups to pressure DC to keep the liberal project going on autopilot for a long time. The next Congress is really going to have to have some balls to repeal this crap if it passes.

Looks a lot like a case that could be challenged on the basis
of religious institutions being treated differently. Equal
access should be a hallmark of these types of programs, “Build
Back Better!”

The Democrats changed the definition of infrastructure. They decided childcare is infrastructure, because childcare helps moms go back to work.

Just a friendly reminder to the left, Conservative parents pay taxes too and those go to public schools many of their children do not attend. Democrats want to have it both ways. They also change our language so as to disguise their true intentions. I read an article over at TheRightScoop on a recent instance, “‘You’ve changed the definition to try and cover your ass’ – Rand Paul blasts Fauci over gain-of-function research denials”, so give that a look. BBB is yet another Alinsky inspired name for a risky democRAT scheme to do something else (just like Affordable Care Act, aka ObamaDONTcare which was not affordable and was all an act).

The left have been changing the meaning of words for decades. Orwell was prescient.

The definition of infrastructure changed 9 months ago, to a nonsensical buzzword that includes any social and free-money programs for privileged groups the commie wackos could dream up. To keep themselves popular and in power, without having to come right out in public and admit to the middle class they are demanding more taxes for social programs that hurt the middle class.

"Since when is childcare part of infrastructure?"

Only in Socialists dreams! Liberals want people to have babies whether or not they can afford them....the government will take care of them while you work.

By the time those children have children of their own, the parents will expect the government to care for them and those government raised people will be led by the nose in a "Marxist world" of flavorless collective groups that run towns and cities, schools with identical books, trade schools for the electricians, vets and doctors, engineers and botanists, and science will be, by the elites...settled; individuality will be forbidden in thought, dress, speech, writing. Math and Music perhaps, will save humanity from the liberal monsters that kill all things original.

Child care is only the beginning.
