Denyse can't believe that Government money is going to pay some Christian schools to teach that the Loch Ness monster is real.
She says that a UD inquiry to ACE (Accelerated Christian Education, the publishers of the textbook in question), has gone unanswered.
Hey, don't worry, Denyse. The Washington Post reports that no Government money will go to Islamic schools: | Quote | It is interesting to note that one of the schools originally on the list, the Islamic School of Greater New Orleans, withdrew its application for voucher students after an outcry about its participation by some lawmakers.
It seems that fundamentalist Christian schools are acceptable to receive public money, but Islamic schools are not. Republican state Rep. Kenneth Harvard was quoted by the Associated Press that he would not support public funding for “Islamic teaching.”
“I won’t go back home and explain to my people that I supported this,” he said. |
There's a reason for the Separation of Church and State.
