Supreme Court strikes down state ban on taxpayer funding for religious schools in narrow vote. It was a narrow vote 5-4, but we won. This now opens the door for school choice which is a most important thing. It could end the grip the NEA union has on educating our children with their left wing propaganda.

That's a very tribal response. Us v. them. -
You'll note that the liberal four never waver, they always vote the "right" way.
If you look up the word Steadfast in the dictionary you'll see their photos.
Their loyalty although usually misplaced has to be admired.Comment

Interesting topic .... my own Father was born and raised in Northern New England and went clean through to High School graduation in Catholic Schools .....
.... they spoke French in those schools... right here in the United States there were French Canadian speaking schools ....
My Father is quite loud about America being an English speaking nation.... but he does go blank when reminded that he once spoke a foreign tongue right here in the good ol USA .
Tell Dad that some citizens speak other languages and he'll go off the deep end....
So as mentioned above...choices . Who wants to shell out money for Muslim schools... or schools deeply entrenched in Quebec ?Comment

What a blessing, to be spared the left-wing indoctrination of public-school! But French is not really a "foreign language" in Northern New England--ALL of Canada would still be speaking it if not for British interference, & the cultural exchange with Quebec is still huge--for ex., most of the timber logged in NY is hauled all the way to Quebec to be milled, then hauled back here to be sold. Don't know how that makes economic sense, but that's the way it's done. In the 19th C., much of the logging in Northern NY was done BY French-Canadians. Most road signs on the interstate going to Montreal have French translations, & about half the heavy trucks running on it have Quebec plates. And as a result of the Norman conquest of England, modern English is a mixture of Old English & French. The horrible-sounding, utterly alien, lingo of the ragheads cannot be compared to speaking French.Comment

Sure, that's possible--all "them" are asking for is that "we" erase our cultural heritage & traditions, while "them" erect more statues of the "Great Demagogue," rename more streets "BLM Boulevard," etc.
And now the beautiful flag of Mississippi has been lowered for the last time.

There is a downside to this.
People have often wondered why so few churchmen opposed Hitler. The answer is simple, in Germany churches were (and still are) supported by taxpayer dollars. Make the government mad and you have to close your schools and hospitals and so on.
Churches should NOT take taxpayer money for any reason. Who takes the King's shilling is the King's man.Comment

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.Read, think, UNDERSTAND, commentComment

Who says Succession was treason except the victorious aggressors? Delegates to the Constitutional Convention assumed membership in the Union was voluntary, even if, unfortunately, they didn't spell it out in black & white. The larger states like Va & NY would never have agreed to a "one-way street" Union. SC didn't rule on the legality until 1869, under a virulently South-hating Chief Justice.Comment

So you're conceding the oppression and contesting the treason? I call that progress.
The treason would be by anyone who took an oath of loyalty to the Constitution of the United States of America and thereafter proceeded to take up arms against her. That includes a substantial portion of the southern political class and military leadership. Asked and answered.Comment

No one was ever formally tried for treason. Grant, mindful of the task of rebuilding the nation, made sure the Confederate officers were left "unmolested in their homes." Jefferson Davis, on the other hand, was held a prisoner for about two years -- and released on $100,000 bail. The bail money was raised by the former abolitionist, Horace Greeley, who was shocked at the violation of Davis' right to a speedy trial.Comment
