Yes. But that does not mean the money belongs to them.
Billions in taxpayer dollars now go to religious schools via vouchers

It's not "the duty" of any of you assholes to decided where everybody else's kids get educated; IT'S THEIR MO EY, TOO.
The parents of parochial school kids PAY TAXES TOO; it's their CHOICE.
No, government should not pay for religious education.
The TAXPAYERS ARE THE GOVERNMENT, and it's their choice.
Vouchers allow the TAXPAYERS to CHOOSE where their own education dollars go, which appalls the totalitarians like you.
It's not the job of taxpayers to be forced to pay for the DNC via Teachers' Unions

Then why do they let the radical Left do anything in education?
What tax money pays for Teachers' unions? Never heard of that.

In general, little or no tax money goes directly to teachers' unions. On the other hand, teachers' unions are a big part of the problem why US public education is so expensive and so incompetent and unproductive.

It's really not. It's like gay marriage. Once the government injects themselves into the middle of something, they can't discriminate.

But that wasn't how gay marriage evolved. Instead, just before and during the early years of the Obama administration, various radical Leftist groups into the LGBTPDQRSTUV+-= whatever alphabet soup started getting the issue on state ballots. At the time they all claimed "We'll let the voters decide..."
35 states had ballot initiatives for gay marriage. In 35 cases it was overwhelmingly shot down. It wasn't even close.
So, the radical Left does what they always do: They resorted to subterfuge and lawfare. Instead of keeping their word, they went to court. In California, they shopped judges and the one that overturned the vote was a gay man who wanted gay marriage, had a gay partner, and refused to recuse himself from the case.
Gay marriage came about because a handful of sympatric judges and courts ruled it the law of the land. That's how the Left always rolls.
US taxpayer money should not be used to support religious institutions.

Then the government needs to figure it out. They made themselves the middle man for ALL school funding. It's not parents' faults.
Seem simple. No tax money to religious schools.

Nope. If you allow some private schools, you have to permit all private schools.

The government can't discriminate. They made marriage a government institution, they have to marry all consenting adult couples.
Give marriage back to churches and let them discriminate as they wish.
No, I believe the first amendment prevents government paying for religious institutions.
Again, I do not believe government should pay for any private school.

Which is a terrible idea because you are creating a monopoly and forcing many kids into the shittiest of educational situations.
Then improve them.

Government isn't discriminating depending on what the purpose of marriage is. If you define it as the Left does, as just a legal union between two people with no larger purpose than that. Then gay marriage makes sense.
On the other hand, traditionally the purpose of marriage was the furtherance of society by reproduction and raising a family. In that case, gay marriage makes no sense and has no purpose. So government isn't discriminating on the basis of sexual proclivities but rather on keeping society going.
The problem is, when the radical Left gets involved, they fuck everything up. They're fucking this up too.
