In what is yet another salvo into the culture wars, the Court looks like it's about to strike down laws forbidding states from funding religious schools. Such a ruling would be a disastrous erosion of the separation of church and state and would be giving taxpayer money to schools with an explicitly anti-LGBTQ agenda. The case at hand, Carson v. Makin, involves a Maine law that allows the state to pay nonsectarian private schools to educate students in rural areas where there are no public high schools. The state won’t pay private religious schools to perform the same task, however. In arguments before the Court this week, all six of the conservative justices signaled that they think the Maine law should be struck down as unfair to religious schools. (Not surprisingly, five of those justices attended private religious schools.) The case before the court revolves around two Christian families, both of whom objected to not getting state funding to send their children to two conservative Christian schools that Justice Elena Kalgan described as “proudly discriminatory.”
