I had the wonderful opportunity on Friday morning – very early in the morning, like 7:00 am in the middle of Middle America – to be interviewed by Troy Derengowski on his Internet radio show, RadioTroy (http://RadioTroy.com). I want to … Continue reading

Is there a new tactic by the Creationist/Intelligent Design advocates? No, it is the same-old, same-old. The state of Tennessee has introduced HB 0368/0893 protecting “a teacher from discipline for teaching scientific subjects in an objective manner.” This sound good, … Continue reading
This week, the Missouri Senate will be considering SJR 47, a bill to create a ballot measure to amend the Missouri Constitution’s “no-aid” provision. If enacted, this would allow taxpayer-funded private and religious school vouchers.
You can review the bill at http://www.senate.mo.gov/12info/BTS_Web/Bill.aspx?SessionType=R&BillID=317058
38 states, including Missouri, currently have no-aid provisions as part of their constitutions. These provisions prevent public taxpayer funds from being by sectarian institutions and entities, and would repeal the part of the existing constitutional provision barring public funds for religious schools.
If passed, this amendment would allow private and religious school vouchers in Missouri. Voucher programs are ineffective, costly, and divert taxpayer dollars from public schools to religious education, often without accountability standards in place.
In addition, by removing this provision from the state constitution, Missouri may be in violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution requiring that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;”
By permitting vouchers for religious K-12 schools, the government of Missouri will be establishing support for religion based education and, therefore, making a law in regards to religion.
Please contact your state senator by March 20 and tell them to oppose SJR 47. Tell them, “I am opposed to SJR 47 because true religious liberty is at stake and private school vouchers are bad for students, parents, and taxpayers.”

I usually do not write about sports, especially basketball. Or football for that matter. I am an in-the-bleachers baseball fan when I can get to a game. I am an avid, if only an average golfer, and enjoy watching the … Continue reading

That is what one of my readers would like us to think anyway. OK, let’s start at somewhere close to the beginning. I wrote a column for the InkandVoice blog concerning the First Amendment and how it must be read … Continue reading

“Never again.” Once in a while, you see something on television or YouTube and ask yourself “Why?” As a Jew by tradition and from meeting those that have survived the German Holocaust, Jews and gentiles alike, one phrase remains, unshakable, … Continue reading

If you think that there is no war between the religious and everyone else, you have not been following American politics very closely in this election season. The antagonists are none other than those who claim to be the innocent … Continue reading
