    What funding? The state gives vouchers to be used as the student chooses. The state has the right to give the vouchers. The student has the right to choose where to use them. Freedom and all that.

    They are also given to the students not the school. The student has the right to use them as he/she chooses. You need to leave a few rights to the people.

    The "don't shove your religion down my throat" crowd gets in an awful huff when anyone rejects their values.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Please be smarter than to quote Jefferson and his stupid "wall of separation." It was his opinion and no more than that.
    Jefferson was writing to a prominent minister and warning him not to get the church entangled with the government.

    When the hard left quotes that Jefferson quote they get it wrong, 100% of the time.

    You're being idiotic now. How do you prove, or know, who's lying or gossiping or spreading rumors? You said this because you don't have any response.

    Covenant Christian School
    720 Emerson Dr NePalm Bay FL, 32907, Brevard County
    Grade: Prekindergarten to Grade 12
    Religious Orientation: Yes
    Religious Affiliation: Presbyterian
    http://www.usa.com/private-school/co...-a9302774.html
    Hmmm....I wonder how they are eligible for the voucher system in FLA?

    Per Florida state bill 7070 - (7) PRIVATE SCHOOL ELIGIBILITY AND OBLIGATIONS.—To be eligible to participate in the Family Empowerment Scholarship Program, a private school may be sectarian or nonsectarian
    https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bil...llText/pb/HTML


    Clearly this contravenes the Florida Constitution which states:


    Public Aid for Private Education
    Constitutional provisions: "No revenue of the state or any political subdivision or agency thereof shall ever be taken from the public treasury directly or indirectly in aid of any church, sect, or religious denomination or in aid of any sectarian institution."Fla. Const. Art. 1, § 3
    https://www2.ed.gov/admins/comm/choi...egprivschl.pdf


    Jeb Bush previously introduced a voucher system in 1999, however, in 2006 the Florida Supreme Court ruled that the state Constitution bars Florida from using taxpayer money to finance a private alternative to the public system, stating that the voucher program "diverts public dollars into separate private systems parallel to and in competition with the free public schools that are the sole means set out in the Constitution for the state to provide for the education of Florida’s children."


    Florida State Bill 7070, which became effective July 1, 2019, is clearly taking another run at it. I wonder how long it will be before it's declared unconstitutional, once again?
