To the editor: If the Supreme Court docket justices resolve to override the Institution Clause of the first Modification of the Structure, the query then turns into: Which church will run the faculties? Or temple, mosque, gurdwara, wat or basadi (“Supreme Court may allow church-run, publicly funded charter schools across the nation,” April 30)?
The founding fathers properly didn’t set up a state faith as a result of historical past exhibits us the restrictions and divisiveness that come up when politics and faith are combined collectively. And now the Supreme Court docket desires to violate their needs and open up a Pandora’s field of faith into our public faculties.

To the editor: So the Catholic majority on the Supreme Court docket seems to favor public funding of spiritual constitution faculties. I simply can’t wait to listen to how they will react when Hasidic faculties apply for funding their Torah-based research with minimal conventional educational courses. And I’m certain they’ll welcome madrasas as effectively. Watch out for what you want for, SCOTUS.

Shouldn’t have the ability to have it each methods.

To the editor: Why is the Supreme Court docket even contemplating the funding of spiritual constitution faculties with taxpayer {dollars}? We must be selling and funding science and math faculties to compete with China and different nations. Will non secular research develop new medicines and remedy most cancers, enhance agriculture manufacturing to feed the poor or save the planet from local weather change?
