WOW! Someone hold me up, the SCOTUS actually ruled that if they accept Federal Funds they actually have to abide by Federal Rules. Have the Libs all committed hari-kari yet???
Beware though - that while the case in this ruling is a victory, it is a double-edged sword. if there is a policy we oppose, a school will have to follow that policy if they accept Fed funds too.

You are right on the money with that comment.
One good example of this type of university would be Bob Jones University. Say what you will, make fun, etc, but they have never taken any Federal funds. So any wierdness is financed on their dime, not yours.
Obviously I'm using the universal 'you' here, not specific to this one poster.

Not really. The universities can still oppose government policies, and surely will.

Exactly correct, and exactly why we need to get the DoEd out of the K-12 schools. Heck, just disband the whole thing.

You've succinctly articulated Reason Number ONE why school vouchers are a very BAD idea. If accepting vouchers would mean conforming all curricula to government-set guidelines, then many private schools would refuse to accept them, thus rendering the whole program futile.

a school will have to follow that policy if they accept Fed funds too. Pretty much always been that way, at least ever since I can remember the Fed handing out goodies to local schools. They have to take the strings with it.

That already happens, it just worked both ways this time.
