Sure *you* don't care but that little thing like the bill

do when the state starts demanding that catholic schools
recognize jewish holidays, or that they ban religious displays?

State money being funnelled into parochial schools is the
first step towards a huge first amendment collision.
That collision *will* happen in the courts when vouchers are
first tried. It is also one of the biggest reasons why
vouchers will be avoided for quite some time to come.

Jim..there is no legal injuction. Read the First Amendment again. The
Seperation of Church and State Fallacy was from a letter from
Jefferson IRRC.

Btw..I know several Jewish families whose children attend Catholic
schools, simply for the superior education. They simply do not join in
the religious activities, and the schools have structured themselves
to allow such as this without making the Jewish kids feel left out.
