Bill targets church school funding ban

An Eastern Idaho lawmaker wants to amend Idaho’s Constitution, to ease prohibitions on using state funds for religious schools. The proposal from Rep. Ron Nate, R-Rexburg, involves the Constitution’s so-called “Blaine Amendment.” This amendment prohibits the Legislature and local governments from using public funding to pay for any school, university, college or educational institution “controlled by any church.” Meanwhile, one lawmaker worried the proposal could pave the way for creating a statewide tuition voucher system/ Clark Corbin , Idaho Education News.
