Better were there no federal funding for any schools.

[DannyTN]

How is SCOTUS holding hearings if the Chief Justice is presiding over the Impeachment?

[Fester Chugabrew]

I agree.

[beaglebabe]

I heard today Roberts heard oral arguments this morning, and went to the Senate this afternoon. Long day for him!

Sorry, I can’t remember details about who reported it, but it was on FOX.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Court AM. Impeach PM.

I wish people could direct their property taxes to the school of their choice.

[Gay State Conservative]

If the government funds a school it gets to set the curriculum. This may well be a bad thing.

[melsec]

Fine! Dont fund private schools but give those who send their kids to one a tax break equivalent to the amount it would have cost the government to educate the kid in a public school. Nobody really wants government interfering in private education. The exception being the ggovernment itself

[MileHi]

That what vouchers do. And it puts the responsibility on parents.

[Maceman]

If the government funds a school it gets to set the curriculum. This may well be definitely is a horrifically bad thing.

[SecAmndmt]

We don’t want public funding, especially federal.

Strings, if not attached now, will be attached at some point in the future.

Much simpler to switch to sales tax funding instead of property taxes. Better yet, privatize all public schools.

NPR stations right in the most conservative parts of our country have been broadcasting hateful rants from their university hosts to slander us and the President over the past couple of days. I wonder why people in flyover country tolerate that propaganda in their midst, not to mention the garbage being injected into the minds of their young people in those anti-American commie command centers (the universities).

The so-called "public funding" in this case IS really just a tax break.

[magna carta]

poor ol’JR is having to operate without sleep...LOL!

[Tired of Taxes]

Better were there no federal funding for any schools.

Or state or local funding. If only education were sold on the free market.

Funny how people complain about college tuition. The average cost of public school is higher than state college tuition (at least around here). Imagine what would happen if college were "free."

[Mercat]

My aunt, Irish Catholic, was the first person I know of on either side of my family who got a four year degree. It was in education, in Missouri. Because of the Blaine act and the KKK, she wasn’t able to get a job as a teacher in the 30s.

[Robert357]

While limited to education, there is also the situation where most of the hospitals in the US are run by religious (church) institutions.

[catbertz]

Add me to the list of people that don’t want direct government funding of parochial schools. Vouchers, or tax refunds for tuition is preferable.

[Stanwood_Dave]

The same as Ruth Bader Ginsburg did, just phone it in.

Supposedly she listen to a tape or whatever of the oral arguments, and wrote her decision.

Now if your asking me, do I believe that Ruth baby really listen to oral argument's, and wrote an opinion.

ANSWER: HELL NO!!!! She had one of her underlings write the opinion, she signed it.
