Check the NYTimes archives from before the repeal polls. It was a much broader proposal than to just allow funding parochial education, which was a little discussed aspect. The referendum (all in one vote) was more than just repealing Blaine.
I don’t have access to the NYT archives (and I’m not willing to pay).
In any event, however, this is outside the topic of the OP. The OP discussed flooding the public schools to “force” the state to pay for yeshiva education, which, as we’ve shown, is not going to work.
Removing the Blaine Amendment, through proper procedures, is a different discussion and is not related to the point of flooding the public schools with our kids.
