The idiocy of elected officials can be astounding.

This Louisianna republican was all for school vouchers so kids could attend christian schools. She had no idea it also covered other religions.

"Valarie Hodges admitted that when she supported Governor Bobby Jindal's school voucher program, she only did so because she assumed the religious school vouchers could only be used for Christian schools. Religious freedom means that everyone's free to follow Valarie Hodges' religion! She explains,"I actually support funding for teaching the fundamentals of America's Founding Fathers' religion, which is Christianity, in public schools or private schools. I liked the idea of giving parents the option of sending their children to a public school or a Christian school.""

But when she found out the vouchers would also support children attending muslim schools?

"We need to insure that it does not open the door to fund radical Islam schools. There are a thousand Muslim schools that have sprung up recently. I do not support using public funds for teaching Islam anywhere here in Louisiana."
 
All the more reason to not fund any private/parochial school with this type of system....at least if she feels that way. You're right, how could she supportme law and not know that it could b used for such. Oh well.
