No MFE, donations to the church are not sinister. But, if the church then applies that donation to a students tuition, and the parents then claim the church donation as an income tax donation, that is sinister. That is indirectly getting the public to pay the private tuition.

Also, about vouchers. If a black student from KC Harmon, a very much inner city schooland environment, with a voucher, with severe CP-in a wheel chair and requiring a full time para, are you and Cokely going to accept that student at your private school. I doubt it. But, I bet you will accept the normal child of the same religion as you who has a voucher. Why the voucher? Probably the parents, at the urging of the church and private school, just wanted to go to a private school. So, public funding of private schools. How will that improve public schools.
