I learned something new yesterday from a SS writer - the failed Blaine Amendment vote in 1875. Had it passed we would not even be discussing this voucher scam anywhere in the US - and obviously Carson v Makin wouldn't exist.

1875 Blaine amendment aimed to stop public money from funding religious schools. Had it been enacted, Blaine's amendment would be part of the federal constitution.

Don't be scared.....lol

SS writer: Freindly Atheist. Hemant's articles are educational and valuable. Love this guy.

The Blaine Amendment history is inside this article. Because South Carolina has it in their state constitution, their supreme court killed the voucher scam. Lucky them. I'm sure next the South Carolina Fascists republicans will put an amendment ballot out to voters to repeal it.

His articles focus on the erosion of separation of church & state. And bad pastors, hypocrites, grifting churches that act opposite of jesus.
