FEMA PLAN TO REBUILD RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS AND OTHER RELIGIOUS
FACILITIES IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL, SAYS AMERICANS UNITED
Taxpayers Should Not Be Forced To Subsidize Religion,
Watchdog Group Says
A plan by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to
spend taxpayer dollars to rebuild religious schools and
other religious facilities violates constitutional
provisions barring public support of religion, says
Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
James Towey, director of the White House Office of
Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, told reporters
yesterday that using public funds to rebuild religious
facilities is permissible as long as no money goes directly
to subsidize buildings used primarily for religious
purposes. But Towey included religious schools what he
called "faith-based educational facilities" in the list of
eligible institutions.
"This policy is incoherent, unworkable and
unconstitutional," said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive
director of Americans United. "Towey and FEMA seem to
believe that religious schools aren't primarily religious.
What a ridiculous assertion."
Lynn said the Supreme Court has never approved public
funding for facilities used primarily for religious
purposes. Religious schools, he noted, would certainly fit
this standard. Many of them sponsor religious worship and
weave religion into the curriculum throughout the school
day.
"Religious facilities serve a private sectarian purpose and
must be paid for by the denominations that sponsor them,"
Lynn said. "Taxpayer funding of churches and church schools
is simply not permitted by the Constitution."
Lynn criticized the agency for using the tragic Gulf Coast
hurricanes as yet another excuse to attack the wall of
separation between church and state.
"In light of FEMA's well-publicized recent failures, the
best thing that agency could do is focus on helping people
in need and stop messing with the Constitution," Lynn said.
"Religious groups receive billions annually in donations.
They have the means to take care of themselves."
Americans United is a religious liberty watchdog group based
in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1947, the organization
educates Americans about the importance of church-state
separation in safeguarding religious freedom.

Moxie,
I was called everyname in the book yesterday for announcing that Delay was being booked on Friday.
Well here it is and I love it.
Moxie, keep up your great blog, as you already know, I love it.
Ranando gets the big gold star for guessing correctly!
and thanks, R :)
Well, this just warms my heart! I can hardly wait for the mug shot. I live in Houston, and I can tell you that there are definitely a lot, though not a majority, of people who are just as happy as I am to see the possibility of some justice actually being done in the case of a such a big bully bastard. Woo-hoo!!! He may actually get his deserved consequences. Something to feel GOOD about.
I absolutely love your blog, and appreciate you much.
Aww, more love for Moxie!
I'm gettin' all teary-eyed here ;p
moxie rules!
Ah, the perp march begins. Let's hope this will be the first of many dominos topleling the W, Rove and Co.
Blog on Sister.
By the way, it looks as though DeLay is smiling in his mugshot. Can anyone explain this? I have a nice caption contest running over at my location if anyone care to post some snarky lines there.
Blog on All.
DeLay is smiling because he'll probably have the last laugh...you guys really don't get it at all do you.Instead of basking in the weak glow of your momentary communal glory,why don't you take Moxie's suggestion .....
