because "faith" schools are private.
If I wanted to start That Guy's Right Wing School of No Spin, then I could totally do it, just as long as its private.
I don't agree with federal money going towards faith based schools, but if a school wants to be "faith based," it can do pretty much whatever it wants just so long as its accredited and that the parents foot the bill for it.
The parents still have the right to indoctrinate their kids with whatever they want; and if they want to pay someone to teach them religion in a private faith based school, then they have the right to do so.
If the school is accredited, then I believe that the school should have to pay taxes just like any other private institution.
If the school is NOT accredited (i.e. meaning you can get a diploma that counts, etc. etc.), then the school can pretty much do whatever it wants; but that means the kid would still have to go to regular public school and the faith based school would have to operate in addition to mandatory public schooling.
