Even though the institution is providing a service to the public, that does not mean that it should receive state governmental funding, as that violates the Establishment clause. Just like Molly said, a decision needs to be made between receiving funding and not being able to discriminate, or losing their funding and running their organization however they please.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11065065543773248730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606201113344523885.post-80524284823423280942015-02-10T20:50:20.580-05:002015-02-10T20:50:20.580-05:00I do not think that this bill should be allowed. I...I do not think that this bill should be allowed. I think it clearly goes against “the separation of church and state,” since the organizations are receiving state funding. It also seems to be an opening for religious discrimination. The main reason it seems unconstitutional to me is because the state is giving them money. They should not be allowed to discriminate solely because they are receiving state funding.

The fact that these religious organizations are receiving public funding means that they should somewhat act as a public institution that cannot discriminate based on any factor. The places funding the religious organizations should also not be sponsoring this type of activity because it ends up with them acting as promoting one particular religion which goes against the First Amendment. I agree that the organizations can discriminate on their own, but not when they are tied up with public funding.Libby Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12710061480560241013noreply@blogger.com
