The Kentucky Supreme Court has ruled that the legislature violated the state
constitution when it appropriated $10 million in taxpayer funds to build a
pharmacy school at a university affiliated with the Kentucky Baptist Convention.
The court also said a provision that allocated an additional $1 million for
scholarships to the pharmacy school at the University of the Cumberlands in
Williamsburg, Ky., was unconstitutional.
Justice Lisabeth Abramson upheld a 2008 ruling by a circuit court judge that
said the appropriations by the legislature in 2006 violated state laws that ban
public financing of "any church, sectarian or denominational school."
(Well my tax money and the tax money of other people of faith is used to pay for schools that teach things I don't believe in. Still I think it is better that faith based schools and ministries not take government money because if you take their money they might start telling you how to do things. It is better to depend on God than take Uncle Sam's money. Read more of the above story Court
denies funding for Baptist school.)
