How Religious Can Your Religious School Actually Be?

How much religion is too much religion? Should there be a difference between widely accepted beliefs and more controversial ones? The U.S. Supreme Court is set to address those questions in a decision that could shape our pressing national conversations. The court heard oral arguments last week in Carson v. Makin, a case involving Maine's tuition program. The program funds private school tuition for students living in rural parts of the state who do not have access to a public school. All private schools are eligible, including ones outside the state or even country, as well as religiously affiliated schools that do not "inculcate" religion. However, if a religiously affiliated school does "inculcate" religion, then it is ineligible.
