Ohio Will Use Taxpayer Money to Construct Private Religious Schools
(www.propublica.org)
School of Satan incoming...
Going to have the best band class in all of Ohio.
🤘
Looks like midwestern metals back on the menu boyssss
Copper, Pyrite, LETS FUCKING GO!
law paused while they try to work out how to make it legal to only allow good Christian schools
How it usually goes as soon as another religion tries to do it.
Or puts up religious imagery
This is bad. I'm so tired of people doing bad things. Stop undermining public education you donkeys.
It is pathetic in a way how desperate they are to prop themselves up with taxpayer funds. They know their ideas can't succeed on their own merits. They need state muscle to help coerce people to believe their myths.
Freeloading companies need to be taxed properly.
If ever a religious institution wanted a clear path to taxation, this is surely it.
well if we were following the rules this wouldn't be happening in the first place.
When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does not take care to support it so that its professors are obliged to call for help of the civil power, 'tis a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one.
- Benjamin Franklin, in a letter to Richard Price.
So that’s a prima facie violation of the establishment clause.
SCOTUS: 
Heh, I didn’t realize we had an animated Clarence Thomas gif
It's the judge in the Simpsons if you want to find more
Ahhhhhh I forgot about that character. Haven’t watched the Simpsons in ages
It's hilarious that there's a huge chance it's still just Clarence Thomas.
Very ~~faschy~~ facie indeed
Man... Whatever happened to separation of church and state
It got separated.
If we're using tax payer money to fund religious private schools it ain't separated
I meant that the separation of church and state got separated from our government.
This is definitely a pretty clear violation of the separation clause.
Oh it’s ok I got a more secular education at a religious school in Ohio than my public school friends did
I'm a Fiscally Responsible Republican and I'd MUCH RATHER have My Taxdollars go to Church then to STARVING AMERICAN CHILDREN!
-Ohio Republicans knowing their State REJECTED Federal Dollars to Feed Starving Children because it was Deemed Fiscally Irresponsible!
This is literally their thinking.
They alone want to control who gets to benefit from charity. They want to be the arbiters of who is worthy of God's love and who should suffer under his might.
I've heard that the young'uns call "ohio" things that are weird and cringey.
I think it's mainly used to describe something depressing, but weird and cringe work too
Not quite, Ohio is where the weird or broken things come from
Can confirm, I live in Canada and my 13 year old daughter and her friends make Ohio jokes
So how do I do something to help? I live a few states over and don't want my representatives getting any ideas.
I just donated to Freedom From Religion Foundation, which files lawsuits challenging attempts like this to undermine church-state separation
Proving why Gen Alpha memes/uses skibidi Ohio.

Mostly football (futbol) fans.
Gerrymandering is a hell of a drug.

OHIO
It's not related really, but seeing this article about Ohio doing something stupid reminded me of this article, and specifically the Instagram propaganda shown off within.
