Dear John,

The Supreme Court heard arguments earlier this month in a case that could erode the separation of church and state.

The case centers around three families who have sued the state of Maine, claiming that it’s illegal for the state to deny funding for the Christian school the students wanted to attend.

While Maine will cover tuition at a private school if there are no local schools available, the state law requires that the school be “a nonsectarian school in accordance with the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.”

Courts have ruled four times against the families, with one judge writing that “Sectarian schools are denied funds not because of who they are but because of what they would do with the money - use it to further the religious purposes of inculcation and proselytization.”

But the Supreme Court’s conservative justices could overrule these lower courts.

Do you believe taxpayer dollars should fund schools that indoctrinate students with Christian values?

Thank you for your input.
