Allright, I am concerned about the infringement of church and state by bush. Bush is a very religous man and has shown religious motives. Now I'll talk about the one instance here where I know of an infringement between the seperation of church and state in which Bush supports: vouchers. Vouchers can be used to leave public schools and pay for private schooling. This includes, religious schools, within which religion is also taught. Thus, vouchers can be used to pay for religious schooling, a clear infringement of the separation of church and state. Proponents of vouchers say that they are to be used to get kids out of poor-performing schools. However, a main reson these schools underperform is because they do not have completely adequate funding. The money that would go to vouchers, however, could go towards the funding of public schools, which do not teach religion. And Kerry, as far as I know, does not support vouchers.
