…but the complete “separation” nonsense seems like it would preclude any monies going to Christian education…

You should be right that it is nonsense, but sadly, reality states that "with shekels come shackles."

Again, the shekels are OURS, that we pay in.

WE are taxpayers, and so should reasonably be able to direct government recourse by OUR discretion, even if they are religious.

But I get your point. The current milieu is anything but rational.
