I learned something new yesterday from a SS writer - the failed Blaine Amendment vote in 1875. Had it passed we would not even be discussing this voucher scam anywhere in the US - and obviously Carson v Makin wouldn't exist.
1875 Blaine amendment aimed to stop public money from funding religious schools. Had it been enacted, Blaine's amendment would be part of the federal constitution.
SS writer: Freindly Atheist. Hemant's articles are educational and valuable. Love this guy.
The Blaine Amendment history is inside this article. Because South Carolina has it in their state constitution, their supreme court killed the voucher scam. Lucky them. I'm sure next the South Carolina Fascists republicans will put an amendment ballot out to voters to repeal it.
Is it too late for this 77 year/old, retired teacher, not in great health, to run against these education-kiilling republican?
I wish, but you know it’s Texas. The deadline to file as a write in candidate was in July. 😭

His articles focus on the erosion of separation of church & state. And bad pastors, hypocrites, grifting churches that act opposite of jesus.
