            From what I've read, it looks like Trinity Lutheran v. Comer might wind up with a 7-2 majority striking it down. I'm guessing it will be a narrow ruling: if state funds are to be used for a purely secular purpose, the state cannot deny them to a religious entity merely because it is religious, if they are eligible to receive said funds in all other respects.



            at the Supreme Court on Wednesday as the Justices heard arguments in a case about whether Missouri could bar a church from a playground-resurfacing program merely because it’s a church.... Discrimination against the church is a “clear burden on a constitutional right,” Justice Elena Kagan said, because “people of a certain religious status are being prevented from competing in the same way everybody else is for a neutral benefit.”

            Columbia, Missouri-based Trinity Lutheran Church wanted to participate in a state program that reimburses groups or schools that want to resurface their playgrounds with rubber tire mulch to make them safer. Though the program is secular and serves a routine public purpose, the state ... claim[ed that] no public playground money could flow to a religious institution.

            “There’s a constitutional principle. It’s as strong as any constitutional principle that there is,” Justice Kagan continued, “that when we have a program of funding—and here we’re funding playground surfaces—that everybody is entitled” to that funding “whether or not they are a religious institution doing religious things.”
            "Hope is a good thing; maybe the best of things."

            "Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy, which sustained him through temporary periods of joy." -- W. B. Yeats

              I'm a godless heathen, and I don't see a problem with a church applying for and receiving a government grant to make their playground safer so long as the playground is open for community use. I don't even have a problem if a church applied for and received a grant to install energy efficient LED lighting, since as a society we benefit if we are all more energy efficient and burn less natural gas or coal to generate electricity.

              doesn't seem to be "establishment" to me so long as all groups are eligible for said funds even the Muslims!!

                    I think the line becomes how public the use is. If it is church use only or contained within the church then no. If it is a park or playground open to the public...then yes.

                      I'm just not a fan. If it were a Scientology playground, I'd rather not have children exposed to Scientology making it seem more favorable at an age when kids are fairly impressionable.

                            Even the children of Scientologists have the right to safe playgrounds.

                            The public money is being given for safer playgrounds for kids. It is not in any way promoting any religion. Denying the money on the basis that it is a religious institution is unconstitutional.

                              Replace church with Planned Parenthood. Somehow it's ok to deny them otherwise general use funds because they engage in a constitutionally protected activity.
