A companion measure to the bill, sponsored by Rep. Wes Keller, would amend the state constitution to allow public funds go to religious schools.
Keller says this is about school choice. Last fall the Alaska Federation of Natives endorsed the proposed legislation, which it said would give Native parents flexibility to start new schools or choose schools that best respond to their children's needs. Keller's bill at the time also would have allowed for scholarships at public schools.
An ACLU Alaska official raised concerns. Jeffrey Mittman says it's best and safest that government not get entangled in religion. He says ACLU would argue that a school couldn't proselytize and get state funds.
The public school classrooms are way too crowded.
Apparently Christianity cannot function without government/taxpayer help. It's good for Christians that Keller recognizes God's need for government subsidy as God can't reach people without taxpayer dollars. Now it makes sense why we have to 'give unto Caesar what is Caesar's' as everyone knows it was Caesar who funded the pyrotechnics that made the burning bush.
Keller, quit trying to push a theocracy when you have no faith in your God.
