I could easily have posted this thread in any number of forums, but I choose the Education forum because the education industry has the most money, and the most political clout, being used to implement coerced charity in today’s American. The fact that the education industry has no constitutional authority to be in education to begin with is the one thing teachers dare not teach.
Teachers’ unions manipulating the federal government to punish homeschoolers is clearly an attempt to force every child to attend public school for basic Socialist indoctrination. A case in Montana goes to the ideology of every priesthood:
In short, America’s Socialist priesthood is doing everything priesthoods do in every society —— discriminate against every other religion. Communist governments do it. Muslim clerics do it with a vengeance in Muslim countries. Christians did it throughout Europe’s long bloody history, Buddhists do it. Jews do it. Hindus do it. Abusing the faithful practicing an opposing religions is the nature of the beast.
It appears that America’s Socialist priesthood take with one hand and give with the other:

Question: Does anybody in Congress uphold their oath of office?
Perhaps elected officials never heard of the First Amendment. Teachers certainly never heard about it. Or perhaps the First Amendment does not apply to charity hustlers.
I would dearly love to know how many people are required to assemble and redress their grievance against the XVI Amendment? That is the amendment that overrides the First Amendment in order to enrich charity hustling parasites.
Or perhaps complete ignorance of what America is the reason they always give tax dollars to organized religions for “good causes.”
NOTE: Democrats recently latched on a political theme that tells us “That is not what America is.” Or “That is not the kind of country we want.” (We meaning I.)
Democrats have variations on the theme, but it always boils down to ‘Americans are begging to live in a theocracy governed by Socialist priests.’
Parenthetically, Donald Trumps says he is going to make America great again. No matter which Republican becomes the next president he has his work cut out for him if he is serious. It is not going to be easy to wean the charity industry from tax dollars. Teachers will fight to the death to protect their spot at the public trough.
Let me close with a few quotations. I’ll begin with one that has more meaning today than it did in 1794:
Democrats who tell us what this country is might tell us exactly when the political philosophy that made America great became a theocracy governed by parasite priests.
NOTE: I took the liberty of adding the word [coerced] where I thought appropriate:
To take from one, because it is thought that his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, —the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry, & the fruits acquired by it. Thomas Jefferson
To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. Thomas Jefferson
Our tenet ever was that Congress had not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but were restrained to those specifically enumerated, and that, as it was never meant that they should provide for that welfare but by the exercise of the enumerated powers, so it could not have been meant they should raise money for purposes which the enumeration did not place under their action; consequently, that the specification of powers is a limitation of the purposes for which they may raise money. Thomas Jefferson
[coerced] Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government. James Madison
If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the general welfare, the government is no longer a limited one possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one subject to particular exceptions. James Madison
With respect to the two words ‘general welfare,’ I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators. James Madison
When the people find they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic. Benjamin Franklin

I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer. Benjamin Franklin
The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money. Alexis de Tocqueville
When more of the people’s sustenance is exacted through the form of taxation than is necessary to meet the just obligations of government and the expense of its economical administration, such exaction becomes ruthless extortion and a violation of the fundamental principles of a free government. Grover Cleveland
I cannot find any authority in the Constitution for [coerced] public charity. [To approve the measure] would be contrary to the letter and spirit of the Constitution and subversive to the whole theory upon which the Union of these States is founded. Franklin Pierce
In a free republic a great government is the product of a great people. They will look to themselves rather than government for success. The destiny, the greatness of America lies around the hearthstone. . . . Look well to the hearthstone; therein all hope for America lies. Calvin Coolidge

Officials with the Pacific Legal Foundation who were unsuccessful in convincing Montana bureaucrats to voluntarily drop the discriminatory regulation now have gone to federal court seeking an order that the rule be canceled.
On Tuesday, PLF officials announced they have filed a lawsuit against the Montana Department of Revenue for its rule that a newly created Scholarship Tax Credit program excludes Christian and other faith-based schools.

Question: Does anybody in Congress uphold their oath of office?
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
Perhaps elected officials never heard of the First Amendment. Teachers certainly never heard about it. Or perhaps the First Amendment does not apply to charity hustlers.
First Amendment
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
I would dearly love to know how many people are required to assemble and redress their grievance against the XVI Amendment? That is the amendment that overrides the First Amendment in order to enrich charity hustling parasites.

Let me close with a few quotations. I’ll begin with one that has more meaning today than it did in 1794:
In 1794, when Congress appropriated $15,000 for relief of French refugees who fled from insurrection in San Domingo to Baltimore and Philadelphia, James Madison stood on the floor of the House to object saying, "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents. James Madison
(French refugees were not coming here to kill Americans; so imagine what Madison et al. would say about Muslim combatants coming here as refugees for the sole purpose of killing Americans.)
Democrats who tell us what this country is might tell us exactly when the political philosophy that made America great became a theocracy governed by parasite priests.
