Tennessee May Deliberately Exclude Muslim Schools From New Voucher Program

[mollywobbles867]

Several conservative lawmakers in Tennessee are throwing the brakes on a fast-moving bill that would divert money away from public schools and towards vouchers for students to attend private or parochial schools.

Republicans are taking a second look at the bill after the possibility arose that some Islamic schools could apply for the same funding

Jailing people for being Muslim? Do states' rights supercede freedom of religion or something?

I don't know; ask North Carolina.

No. A law like that would be challenged by the ACLU and struck down. There is literally no point in passing a law like that.

And then they'd whine about how the ACLU is a front for a Muslamic communist terror organization.

Much as I would HATE to see this pass, I have to admit that it would be fun to watch the ACLU wipe the floor with these asshats. Ahh, the pointing and giggling opportunities!
