re: #439 Scion9

I believe you have no posted the actual language of that article. Every version of it that I have seen states that the provision is to not fund infrastructure that is predominantly used by a religious group; not barring funding of said infrastructure if is used by a religious group at all.

Obviously if a religious group meets on campus, that campus is not predominantly for the meeting of that religious group.

I did not post all of it, just the pertinent part. Here it is:

“PROHIBITED USES OF FUNDS. - No funds awarded under this section may be used for - (C) modernization, renovation, or repair of facilities - (i) used for sectarian instruction, religious worship, or a school or department of divinity; or (ii) in which a substantial portion of the functions of the facilities are subsumed in a religious mission.”
