Separating Church and State

Well, at least some of them:

"Louisiana: Payments to Churches Challenged.... The American Civil Liberties Union and the A.C.L.U. of Louisiana filed a lawsuit in federal court against the governor and the state treasurer regarding payments the state made to two churches. Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco signed an appropriations bill last month that gave $100,000 to Stonewall Baptist Church in Bossier City and $20,000 to Shreveport Christian Church. In a statement, the A.C.L.U. said the money was disbursed without “any oversight or competitive bidding process, and the bill offers no purpose or justification for the challenged earmarks.” The payments were discovered after recent changes in the state’s earmarking system led to each earmarked appropriation’s being listed individually (New York Times August 14)."

But it is O.K. to FUND
Jewish schools with TAXPAYER $$$$?!?!
