3. Texas Legislature Throws Money, Students At Parochial Schools The North texas Activist! texas legislature throws money, students at parochial schools Voucher bills threaten welfare of both parochial and public schools by Dr. Ronald B. Flowers http://www.flash.net/~lbartley/au/activist/act0102/throws.htm

The North Texas Activist! Spring 1997 Legislation Texas legislature throws money, students at parochial schools Voucher bills threaten welfare of both parochial and public schools by Dr. Ronald B. Flowers parochial schools.) HB-656 House Bill 656, introduced by Rep. Ron Wilson, R-Houston, is the worst of the lot from our perspective. It proposes a state-wide program of "child-centered scholarships" to send children to public schools outside their own district or to private and parochial schools. Home schools are included. Because many parents teach their children at home to inculcate specific religious views, this bill would be providing state money to support that sectarian teaching. A parochial school is not required to accept children using "child-centered scholarships." That means that, unlike public schools, they may reject low-achievers, discipline problems, and other students who disrupt the educational process. This practice is commonly known as "skimming." Wilson’s bill would enable private schools to skim and yet take public money. The consequence of skimming is that public schools will be left all of the problems and fewer resources. Although the bill would not allow parochial schools to discriminate on several grounds, including race and national origin, it would allow them to discriminate on the basis of religion. Americans United supports the right of parochial schools to maintain their theological or denominational identity if they choose. But it is inappropriate and unconstitutional for a school to receive state money and discriminate on the basis of religion.

9. Supreme Court Erodes Boundaries Between Religious Schools And Public Employees The North texas Activist! Specifically, before the Court was a program that sentstateemployed teachers into parochial schools to teach remedial courses. http://www.flash.net/~lbartley/au/activist/act0103/agostini.htm

The North Texas Activist! Summer 1997 Supreme Court erodes boundaries between religious schools and public employees by Ronald B. Flowers On June 23, in Agostini v. Felton , the Supreme Court reversed a decision it had reached in 1985. In the process, it erased the previously drawn sharp line between public employees and church-related schools and may have opened the courts to a barrage of other attempts to procure state aid for religious activities. In the 1985 case, Aguilar v. Felton , the Court had to decide the constitutionality of a provision of Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. That provision provided remedial education to economically- and educationally-disadvantaged students in both public and private schools. The Court held that the educational program excessively entangled government and religion in two ways. For one, the very fact that public school teachers were teaching in parochial schools created an impermissible symbolic union of church and state. But beyond that, simply administering the program inevitably entangled the state with religion. Although the public school teachers were given strict instructions to exclude religious content from their teaching, it was necessary to monitor them to guarantee that they did. That government surveillance, conducted in the parochial school environment, created excessive entanglement. Some school administrators sought to circumvent the Aguilar
