he state can refrain from paying for the Yeshivah portion of the education. But they have every responsibility to pay for the SECULAR education, which we support through our taxes
Oomis,
I’m afraid you’re wrong. Here’s the relevant section of the state consitution:
Neither the state nor any subdivision thereof, shall use its property or credit or any public money, or authorize or permit either to be used, directly or indirectly, in aid or maintenance, other than for examination or inspection, of any school or institution of learning wholly or in part under the control or direction of any religious denomination, or in which any denominational tenet or doctrine is taught, but the legislature may provide for the transportation of children to and from any school or institution of learning.
In other words, aside from the specific services mentioned (inspection, transportation, etc.) the state is prohibited from funding the school at all if religion is taught there. Secular studies is not one of the services excepted.
