I would say all those schools are listed have a religious component but they are not tied or funded directly by the church and you can go to those schools regardless of your religious beliefs unlike on the local level if you’re a Muslim, I don’t think you’re going to get into the local Catholic Protestant or Jewish private school, which are funded and owned by local diocese

Unlike the schools you listed, you can be of a different religious denomination and still apply and gain admission so I would think federal monies could be excepted not violating the separation of church and state

Because those properties are not owned and operated by the church or churches or masjid or synagogue

But that’s only my opinion

There’s really no difference between Boston College and Saint John’s Prep in regards to their religious affiliation. Why is it OK to use tax dollars towards a BC education and not OK to use Tax Dollars towards a Saint John’s education?

St. John's University is a Roman Catholic institution open to students of all faiths.

However it's not funded and owed by the catholic church or other Church .. an affiliation Allows them have the ethics and belief system of their religion built into available programs, student organizations, and daily life.. but students are not mandated to attend or hold the same religious beliefs to attend ,

So there are no public funds to finance religious instruction and indoctrination.

As I see it like this If ones School choice is Church owned and Run and financed by a church diocese.. like All Saints Catholic School in fall River whom accept any student regardless of belief.

Still no public moneys should be allowed to fund students to attend it due to its Ownership and funding control

"you can go to those schools regardless of your religious beliefs unlike on the local level if you’re a Muslim, I don’t think you’re going to get into the local Catholic Protestant or Jewish private school, which are funded and owned by local diocese"

You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about. NONE. Paul and I went to the same exact catholic high school, there were Jews and Muslims there. Same with the school my son goes to now. There are also openly gay students at my sons catholic high school.

These local schools are not wholly funded by the churches. Parents pay tuition. The church kicks in some to be sure, but not nearly all. Not even close!

You're literally making up whatever horsesh-t fits your opinion, instead of letting actual facts form your opinion.
