Good news, right?
Any time the Eighth Circus is reversed I would think that is good news.
Not sure how to interpret this just yet.
I’m afraid if they take government money, they’ll have to comply with government-ordered mandates, some of which they may not like.
They were giving rubberized mulch away because it’s safer for kids. The church was rejected because its a church, separation, etc.
Given the purpose of the safer material, I can see that a group of people shouldn’t be discriminated against just because they are religious. The playground is outside the worship center.
But we argue that our entire outreach is part of our mission.
I’m wary of churches taking government money, anyway, so my rejection of getting involved with them would have led me to frown on this church getting a government subsidy.
I can see the other view, but I would focus on the danger. I think it undercuts our argument that EVERYTHING we do is part of our free exercise.
