ALERT!! They are trying to change our constitution & support religious ed!

[kiteinthewind]

There are so many ballot initiatives this year, that I am fearful people will become confused. In addition to attempting to get TABOR in Missouri (referred to Hancock on Steroids) there is another group circulating the petitions shown below. I can't believe how blatant these people are. Is it really possible for Missouri to pass an amendment that goes against the U.S. Constitution? I am so confused. :shrug:

Shall the Missouri constitution be amended to fund elementary and secondary education and two years of college by:

Allowing the use of public money for religious purposes and institutions;

Changing the dedicated minimum amount of the state revenue from 25% to 33%;

Funding school vouchers at 100% for public and 75% for non-public students and allowing tax credits for school donations;

Prohibiting districts from imposing additional testing standards or raising funds through taxation;

Reducing the amount of lottery and gaming revenues available for public education by dividing those funds equally among public and non-public students?

Funding for all public & non-public K-14 schools shall be the sole responsibility of the state legislature. The estimated state impact exceeds $3.5 billion annually. Because public K-14 schools shall no longer assess local taxes, the impact on local government is unknown, as they are subject to funding from the state legislature.
