Can you explain how that comes out of Revenue Ruling 93-73 when I’ve quoted the entire ruling in full?
As far as NY state law, there are ways around everything, I don’t know why you’re not getting it. If NYS wanted to give us money, there are a million way they can.
1) Change the law without a vote, not every law needs a vote.
It’s not a law — it’s a part of the Constitution. There is a prescribed method to amend the Constitution. You can’t just say “let’s change it” without a vote, despite your assertion to the contrary.
2) Make 2 seperate schools one is religous one is not, I mentioned this before you chose to ignore it.
I didn’t ignore it. The state isn’t stopping any yeshiva from doing this. If it’s such a good idea, how come not a single yeshiva has done it? Perhaps because the amendment applies not only to schools that teach religion but also to any school (even a secular one) that is owned by a religious institution.
3) Call it “lunch” money or “computers” or pay 4k per child for transportation, again if NYS wanted to give the money they know how to do it.
Because the Constitution doesn’t allow for “lunch” money or “computers” money. And transportation is only allowed to cover the actual cost of the transportation.
4) Don’t give the schools money but give parents a break in taxes, for “private” schooling, nothing to do with religion.
That may be workable, but then you have the issue of the fact that it’ll be difficult (if not impossible) to pass through a tax break for private schoolers when the state is flat broke, not to mention the fact that it would be perceived as a “tax break for the rich” (since private education, whether correctly or not, is closely associated with the rich).
