The people saying start a Muslim school think they are making a great point but they aren't at all. Muslim and Jewish schools would indeed fall under this ruling, otherwise it would be establishment of a religion and unconstitutional.

I don't think taxpayers should fund religious education, but this article and this topic are edgy atheist garbage. People who don't understand religion at all and have no interest in understanding religion talking about how bad religion is.

I personally have had great experiences with religious schools. But I have heard stories about bad religious schools. The simple solution is to pass laws banning the teaching of hateful things. This is pretty vague, but "comparing homosexuality to bestiality and incest", if that is even true, would clearly fall under that.

Edit: I think this ruling does that? According to the article, the ruling is, "Once a state funds private education, it cannot disqualify some private schools solely because they are religious." Despite what this article says, being religious does not mean you think homosexuality is like bestiality and incest. So a school teaching something like that would clearly be grounds for defunding.

The thing people are the most upset about isn't that we think the schools are going to teach hateful things. I mean they might, but that's not the issue being discussed. We're upset because PRIVATE schools are not supposed to be funded by our tax dollars. And even if that weren't the case, our government isn't supposed to cater/show favoritism to religious institutions. This is a bad thing, regardless of what any of those particular schools teach.
