Anyone else see the inconsistency?

All the woman wanted was a baby. What the big deal in how it happens? Or was it that it had a cost associated with it. For an organization that is steadfast in it views on abortion I don't see their argument against in vitro fertilization.

BTW parochial schools now receive state tax dollars for students who's families are eligible for vouchers. Removing the dollars from the local public schools.

But don't you remember what Jesus said about in vitro fertilization?

If you mean can a teacher send their children to a private school using tax dollars. Yes I would think so they just need to meet the income requirement. Then be able to pay the difference between the tuition and voucher. But unsure if the teachers can transfer unless there is an opening.

But my local public school was inundated with ex-private school students wanting to get in because of the increase in tuition since the voucher program now allows for going to any school. No longer does one have to go to the closest school to you. Just need to apply and if the principle accept you then your in.

Are you saying that the private schools have raised their tuition rates because of the vouchers?

The situation at hand seems to be fallout from a recent Supreme Court case, Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission et al.

In a nutshell that case says that the government can not get involved in ministerial matters, not even if they would otherwise be covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

It's a simple application of seperation of church and state. The church can hire and fire whoever it wants for religious reasons.
