LGBT Attacks Christian Charter School
Jack Kemp forwards this:

Several years ago, the state of Indiana ushered in an aggressive school voucher program that allowed parents to take a portion of the tax dollars they were spending for the public education system and apply it towards tuition at a private school of their choice. It was aggressive because the Indiana legislature stipulated that those vouchers could be put towards explicitly Christian schools so long as the institution met or exceeded the state’s educational curriculum requirements and were accredited by the Indiana Department of Education.
To those that objected to such a practice on the basis of modern courts’ flawed application of a separation of church and state doctrine, Indiana replied with an important correction: these dollars are not "government dollars;†they belong to the individual. In other words, Indiana is not paying to run an explicitly Christian school. It is offering every citizen the opportunity to keep a portion of their own money that would otherwise be confiscated by the state, which the citizen could then use as they see fit within the educational boundaries established by the legislature.
As with all voucher systems, the opposition to Indiana’s program from the state teachers’ association and other progressive entities has been strong. To this point they have failed. But one Indiana Christian school now stands perhaps the most serious and alarming threat yet – a challenge that if successful could strangle the First Amendment rights of every Christian institution in the state.
READ THE REST
A NOTE FROM TIM:
This is the model used in the Soviet Union. The Soviet Constitution enshrined freedom of religion, only you couldn't have a christian school and couldn't prevent "anti-religious propoganda" meaning the State could drown you out. In the end this is the same strategy.

Christian schools were closed in the Soviet Union, students had to write poems about the Soviet leaders, making them stand out in their rhymes, they did homework and chose free thetermpapers.org essay topics only to glorify the regime; my grandmother told me everything about their regime and how it worked in the rural areas. Christian traditions were not forgotten for good though. Parents christened their kids secretly and the priest was also risking his life doing that.

Thanks Jeff Stark! You are absolutely right!
Speaking of Christianity surviving the Soviets, George H. W. Bush spoke at my college graduation while he was Vice President and he told a story about attending Brezhnev's funeral. Brezhnev's widow made the sign of the cross over her husband's body! Clearly the official atheism didn't take.
