I disagree with tax dollars going to religious organizations and would fight it no matter where I lived. There is a reason the Constitution included separation of church and state. Leave the bricks in place. Legislators are supposed to represent everyone, not a few, or just themselves. Pew Research states 70% of Oklahomans are Christian, with 8% Catholic. 47% are Evangelicals, and 10% are mainline Christians. 26% claim no religious affiliation. Other religions are less than 1% each. Opening this door, couldn’t every religion expect the state to support their schools? How could you say no once you have agreed to one? A public school should be tuition free, meet the standards of the state, and embrace every student who comes through the doors. Will a religious school be willing to do that?
