老澳门开奖结果 Statement on Supreme Court Ruling in Case Involving Government Support for Church
WASHINGTON 鈥� The Supreme Court today ruled that it was unconstitutional to exclude a Missouri church from a state cash aid program that reimbursed schools for resurfacing playgrounds with recycled tire materials. The 老澳门开奖结果 filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the case in support of Missouri.
Daniel Mach, director of the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Program on Freedom of Religion and Belief, had the following reaction:
鈥淲e鈥檙e disappointed in today鈥檚 decision. Religious freedom should protect unwilling taxpayers from funding church property, not force them to foot the bill. The court鈥檚 ruling, however, focuses specifically on grants for playground resurfacing, and does not give the government unlimited authority to fund religious activity.鈥�
