Gary, Art. I, §6 says that "[n]o money shall be drawn from the treasury, for the benefit of any religious or theological institution." Vouchers don't exist for the benefit of the religious entity that operate schools: they exist to benefit students who attend the schools. The funds from the DOE provide tuition for the student.

This has interesting parallels to IBJ's story on Marion County charter school grades. Given the State's history of fudging grades for certain players, it makes one wonder if the charter/private school grades are even this rosy.

Interesting comments Gary. I voted against vouchers all along the way for the simple fact that once government gets their financial fangs securely locked in the private school's throat, they will start dictating how the schools will operate. The response was always, it has been vetted in court as constitutional, to wit I responded that they also vetted Dred Scott in the U S Supreme. It not happen tomorrow, but give it five years and say good bye to self run private schools without government control.

There is practically no – NO – oversight on religious schools including Moslem Madrassa schools. Many of these schools (perhaps all of the Moslem schools) do not obey Indiana law and pledge allegiance each day. They often teach students to hate American.

Our taxpayer dollars are being used to propagandize students and produce radicalized future citizens and voters. Where is Glenda Ritz? Where is the State School Board? Where is the oversight???
