[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not?  If you are against charter schools because the money can go to religious schools, then you should be against these as well.[/quote]

DP- but can you explain how research, which has empirical guidelines and that can benefit society/discover new information as a whole should have the same funding guidelines as religious training/education which has no empirical guides and in fact is based on religion.  The guidelines in receiving funding grants is based upon using the SCIENTIFIC method which is agreed upon as empirical evidence and doesn’t involve religion.

A religious school is teaching religion which brings the separation of church and state into question.

Explain how those are the same to you.[/quote]

Religious colleges also teach religion.  Not sure if any have a mandatory component for all schools.
I also mentioned student loans for attending religious schools.
If the parent can take funds and use at a private school, was objected to because it would go to religious schools.  The same applies for a lot of government funds at the collegiate level.[/quote]
Most (all?) religious colleges are private. The student loan argument does really apply as a direct comparison because [b]the money gets paid back[/b]. [/quote]

No it doesn’t. [/quote]
