Today’s #SCOTUS win in #Espinoza v. Montana Board of Revenue is a BIG VICTORY for #religiousfreedom not just in schools, but across the board. Here’s why (THREAD):
First, the Court said that Blaine Amendments are “born of bigotry” and “arose at a time of pervasive hostility to the Catholic Church” and thus have a “shameful pedigree.” (2/9)
If you have any doubts about the rampant discrimination behind Blaine Amendments, Justice Alito included in his concurring opinion an 1871 Thomas Nast cartoon from our brief that shows the anti-Catholic bigotry of the day. (3/9)

Todos los países del mundo cuentan con fuerzas de seguridad. Ninguno de ellos está exento de que pueda haber abusos, actos de discriminación o crímenes por parte de estas. El punto es cómo actúa el Estado luego de conocerse el hecho: avala, encubre o juzga y condena.
Mi repudio a todo exceso en el uso de la fuerza.
Mi condena al crimen que terminó con la vida de #Floy en Estados Unidos y con la de #Espinoza y #MagaliMorales en Argentina.
Mi repudio a lo que pasa en este sentido en toda América todos los días.
Y por último mi repudio a los que se posicionan ante este tipo de aberraciones desde un lugar de conveniencia política ideológica. Visibilizando unos y negando otros.
O lo peor: equiparando las situaciones que se dan en contextos de Estados de Derecho con otros que no lo son.

The Supreme Court is set to hear Espinoza v. Montana Dept of Revenue today, about funding of religious schools.

But it is not an Establishment Clause challenge to govt funding of religion. Nope.
It is a Free Exercise one about the failure to fund religion.

#SCOTUS #Espinoza
In #Espinoza, Montana created a tax credit program where for every dollar you donated to a school scholarship org, you get a dollar off your tax bill.

The school scholarship org would then provide scholarships for students at private schools.

#SCOTUS #SupremeCourt
Here's the problem: 12 out of 13 participating private schools were religious schools, and the Montana Constitution bans the State of Montana from funding, either directly or indirectly, any religious schools.
