QUESTION FFRF urges Alabama county not to fund Christian school - Freedom From Religion Foundation

"First, the Alabama Constitution clearly prohibits funding religious education," FFRF Staff Attorney Ryan Jayne writes to Montgomery County Administrator Donald Mims. "Alabama's Constitution erects a high wall of separation between state and church, and giving money directly to a religious school violates both the letter and the spirit of this provision."
Second, the Establishment Clause strictly prohibits the government from advancing religion. This means that the government may not "aid any or all religious faiths or sects in the dissemination of their doctrines," in the words of the U.S. Supreme Court. Requiring taxpayers to support a religious school violates this principle by aiding the school in disseminating its religious doctrines."

Interesting that having tax dollars going to a parochial school is against 1st Amendment Nationally and State Constitution of Alabama. Yay FFRF
