7. Given that this court is not one to analyze shades of gray

nor see a religious excuse it doesn't like, I think this case will be determined in favor of spending any assistance needed to send the kid to whichever religious school he wants to attend, regardless of the expense. Too bad he couldn't have made do with the cheaper one, as did the other child.

Problem with all these religious and private schools... as well as the charter schools... and all these funding issues... as well as the homeschooling necessary during the pandemic... is that it checks one of the RWNJ's boxes of autocracy (actually, theocracy; specifically, Dominionist theocracy). At some point, free public, non-sectarian education will disappear and this religious right-wing indoctrination is all that will be available. Homeschooling may be available, but the lessons will be slanted and it will be up to the parents to fill in the blanks and not get caught.

I fear the "brave new world" we're entering if the PTB on the side of Democracy don't start fighting harder to save our institutions of Democracy, chief among them our Executive office and the Judiciary. (sigh)
