all over a few dollars for a playground on church property. a playground which can be enjoyed by anyone and everyone, regardless of faith or no faith at all.

Trinity Lutheran Church v. Comer

The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that “the exclusion of Trinity Lutheran from a public benefit for which it is otherwise qualified, solely because it is a church, is odious to our Constitution all the same, and cannot stand.”

Ginsburg and Sotomayor dissented.

Why am I not surprised?

I sure wish those two (and Kagen) would get the liberal stress out and have their heart lock up....    or die "naturally" in bed like Justice Scalia

The next day, the Court ordered two states to reconsider their discrimination against religious schools in light of the Trinity Lutheran ruling:


   It vacated a ruling by the New Mexico Supreme Court, which prevented students at religious schools from receiving state-funded textbooks.

   It vacated a Colorado Supreme Court ruling that halted a school choice program, because students at religious schools were allowed to participate.

Trinity Lutheran finally starts to unravel the nationwide web of anti-Christian discrimination known as “Blaine amendments”—state laws and constitutional amendments designed to block religious schools and organizations from access to government programs.

It’s possible that the Trinity Lutheran ruling may open the doors wide open for school choice for Christian families!

"Open the door!"
