Florida school voucher law unconstitutional, appeals court rules
By JACKIE HALLIFAX

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -
Florida's original school voucher law violates the state constitution
because it allows tax dollars to be spent on religious schools, the
full 1st District Court of Appeal ruled Friday.
The decision is the third such ruling against the 1999 law, which lets
students attending public schools that earn failing grades two years
out of four to attend private schools on state vouchers.
"This is a big win for the people of Florida who believe in separation
of church and state," said Ron Meyer, a lead attorney for voucher
opponents.
A spokesman for Gov. Jeb Bush said the governor was disappointed, and
believes the law is constitutional.

It isn't necessarily a "christanic [sic] cult" thing, the vouchers could
also be used for muslim or jewish schools, or for hindu, buddhist, satanic
or even atheist schools if such existed. It isn't clear to me what the
problem is with that.

Of course it's a Christanic cult thing. And you _seriously_ don't
know what the U. S. Constitution says? Really?
