Social issues of today are under attack. They must take back seat to our financial and security concerns. There is no debate. People who have issues with biblical truth are either non-belivers and/or want justification for their sins.

Lest we forget, America was founded upon Biblical Truth. Anti-capitalists, Atheists, Socialist, and Communists have attacked this and our STATIC and ENUMERATED charter - the supreme law of our land, The Constitution, to suite their agenda.

A school may receive federal grant money. Typically, schools that receive grant money must comply with Dept of Education standards and policies like. Hillsdale College is private and accepts zero federal dollars. Students that attend there cannot apply for federal tuition assistance. In lieu of that, donors and alumni cover tuition assistance programs specific to that school.

The key here is there is choice; regulation is not centralized & mostly controlled at the state and local levels.

@littlecasino60 - NO. Socialism is an economic system based on the theory of that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated. There is no choice.

@ARtofPOliticalTruth - you must be an athiest or left-wing radical. You enjoy inalienable rights - those given to you by GOD ..those upon which America was built and those upon whch you enjoy.

Churches are tax exempt.

If a church has a school, that school is usually private - private schools do not receive federal money as I understand it. I may be wrong.

"You enjoy inalienable rights - those given to you by GOD ".

Do you mean Lord Shiva? Because my daily bracelet says: OM NAMAH SHIVAYA:

Translation: I bow to Lord Shiva!

This country is for everyone, and WE all PAY taxes to suuport this country. It isn't ONLY for Christians, as much as you might want to believe this.

@littlecasino60...America was founded on Biblical principles. This is well documented in the founders writings, including Federalist papers. Many of all religious beliefs have immigrated here legally and enjoyed what has been created. Yes, America is the melting pot and I don't care to whom you bow. America was built on traditional Christian Biblical principles for all to enjoy. If that makes you feel "left out" then maybe you need to find a new home. Love it or leave it.

No doubt the school did :)

Your parents should have asked for a government voucher, because I think they could have gotten it.

Why is not this on advertisements by the Republican Party throughout the land, and the pushing of all to see the movie in the theaters

2016: Obama's America

If the Republican Party and Romney himself do not push the two above, they and he are not representing us as they should. This is an election that an "all out approach" is made and presented to the American citizens.
