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.
the reason no school is doing it, comes back to my point because the state is not looking to help yeshivas, if they wanted to this could be one of many ways to do it.
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.
really? hmmm guess what yeshivas currently get lunch money, and computer money, and book money, and bus money. the reality is we do get millions, just not enough that parents don’t have to pay twice, once as a tax and again to yeshivas.
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 schools 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).
the fact that the state is broke is a silly argument, I’m talking about a general lack of interest on the states part to help with private tuition for many years, they said no when they had millions of extra dollars. so to say today well their broke, that’s not why it won’t work.
They don’t care if it looks like a tax break, don’t you get it everything is politics, if there was a reason to help private schools they would, as of now there is no interest, so they have a hundred reasons they can’t.
Like I’ve said many times already if there is a will here is a way!!!
