buildings owned by religious institutions are not "the country"

[Blues Man]

I said what tax money should be used for,,

but if they are going to just give money away they have to give it to everyone,,

How the hell is this Constitutional?

Does a state legislature have the legal authority to give tax revenue to religious organizations so they can "beef up security"?

I don't think so

Depends, what does the Connecticut constitution say?

 

[ThisIsMe]

should louisiana be giving money to religious schools?

State rules don't trump the constitution

Sure they do, because the constitution was written to limit the power of the federal government. Also, them giving money to churches isn’t establishing a religion.

People grossly misunderstand the establishment clause, and wrongly attribute “separation of church and state” to it.

But, neither of those apply to what the state of Connecticut does.

you may want to read the 9th-10th amendments again,,

no such thig as seperation of church and state,, and giving a church money doesnt establish anything

 

[rampart]

So school children should only protected if they are under .gov control?

Anyway churches should shun the money because with .gov money comes .gov strings attached.

Depends, what does the Louisiana constitution say?

no state constitution pre empts the 1st amrndment.

This is still taxpayer dollars being given to private institutions for things they should be paying for with their own money.

The State of CT isn't setting aside millions of dollars for any other businesses so they can buy alarm systems and cameras and at least those private business actually pay taxes where religions don't.

Why not give homeowners money for their own home security too?

I don't indulge in immaturity like you. Emojis are for children .

And gee I didn't see some old movie because I had better things to do. But I suppose you have watched every movie ever made and spend hours in front of the idiot box.

That actually explains a lot.
