    Had not been aware that Florida voters rejected a measure to allow for taxpayer funding of religious schools: http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/10/04/3034879/amendment-8-our-opinion-vote-no.html …

        @michaelbd The editorial doesn't defend the Blaine Amendment, it just notes that the proposal would have repealed a main provision.

        @michaelbd Blaine Amendment happens to be the law on the books that prohibits public funds from being used for religious schools.

        @michaelbd advocating the principle of no public $ for religious schools doesn't obligate one to support the Blaine Amendment specifically

        @michaelbd the idea that those who oppose funding religious schools are also affirming the original intent of the Blaine Amendment is silly

        @michaelbd You think the principle of "No public monies shall be allocated for sectarian educational institutions" is "stupid and backward"?

        @michaelbd So you repudiate "the separation of church and state" as we know it.

        @michaelbd I mean those words to evoke the same principle outlined by Thomas Jefferson in his letter to the Danbury Baptists

        @michaelbd Thankfully we Americans part ways with the French. Here, taxpayer dollars may not be used to finance religious proselytization.

        @michaelbd I am comfortable adapting the underlying sentiment that Jefferson conveyed to modern times. Bible should be taught.

        @michaelbd Would depend on each individual case, but I'm working from the principle of "No public $ for sectarian religious proselytization"

        @michaelbd Separation of church and state is a deeply American principle, distinguishing us from Old Europe. Don't trample on it.

        @michaelbd So if this is so pedestrian, why did they need a constitutional amendment in Florida?

        @michaelbd Now we are laughed at by Old Europe for the outsized voice that Christian Right people have in national politics.

        @michaelbd And why shouldn't we be suspicious of an initiative "to put something beyond the reach of the courts"? No more checks & balances?

        @michaelbd OK, and Mike Huckabee + Rick Santorum + Michele Bachmann get a lot of attention in national media, which makes Old Europe snicker
