From the desk of Jane Galt:Supreme Court has okayed vouchers!
Supreme Court has okayed vouchers! Rah! Rah! Sis-boom-bah!
On the down side, the ruling was 5-4.
Well, from my recent post we all know how I feel about the establishment clause; it was designed to protect religion, not surgically remove it from the public square. Even beyond this, I find it hard indeed to see why parents executing private choices to pick religious schools for their children is an unconscionable "establishment" of religion, and I heartily disapprove of the people going to court to try to argue that the way in which other people choose to educate their children somehow violates their freedom of religion. All in the name of "the children" -- the ones they want to maroon in failing schools so the teacher's unions can have a few more years of life. Ick.
