Neighborhood Ministries

Liberals are claiming that the Supreme Court has violated the separation of church and State by ruling that Maine can provide services that do not include religious instruction (meals, transportation, etc.) to religious schools. It is not supporting religion since the services do not include religious teaching. In addition, since the parents are paying public school taxes and the services are provided by the school district to non-religious schools, to deny religious schools the funds, is discriminating against religious schools because of their religious base. In addition, since the schools are in areas not served by public schools, no public schools will be hurt by it and the children would be denied access to schooling if the religious schools were not able to serve them.
