This week the debate over religion and publicly supported schools has been playing out in Oklahoma.

The state school superintendent mandated that public schools teach the Bible and Ten Commandments.

Days before the state Supreme Court blocked what would have been the nation's first

religious charter school.

While the Supreme Court has been opening the door wider for public money to flow into religious

schools, a lot is already going through school voucher

programs.

A Washington Post analysis concluded that nationwide, the vast majority of school voucher money

is going to religious schools. We get two perspectives

on this. Robert Enloe is president of CEO of Ed Choice, a nonprofit school voucher advocacy

group, and Richard Katsky is the director of Duke University's appellate

litigation clinic and the former vice president of Americans United for Separation of

Church and State. Richard let me start with you.

There are all sorts of problems with money going to private schools.

private religious schools, those schools, and by the way all private schools that

take vouchers can pick and choose which students they will allow to attend.

They won't serve kids with disabilities because they're more expensive to go there.

They won't serve kids of different faiths.

They'll make the kids and the families sign statements of faith

and agree to live according to them.
