re: #451 TooDamNice

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.”

It is very specific that the stimulus funds cannot be used for religious purposes, also clearly implying at the end that a school would be entitled to funds for general use. Forgive me if (as a Brit) I’m missing something about the stimulus bill, but I don’t think it’s meant to replace the education budget, and I don’t think it’s any kind of a religious crackdown. It is there to stimulate the economy, getting liquidity to wherever (in theory) it is most needed.
