No, you wouldn’t. The State Constitution is very clear on this. If religion is taught in the school (or if the school is controlled by a religious organization) then *no part* of the school can be funded by state funds — not the secular studies, not the arts and crafts, not the gym, not the electricity, not the rent, not the administrative staff — nothing.

(NB: The State Constitution does specify that building inspection and one or two other minor services can be funded — but aside from those few named exceptions, no part of the school can be funded by state dollars.)
