Rejoice with those of us engaged in the war for the souls of America's children today with the news that the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Arizona Tuition Tax Credit, dismissing the group of atheists protesting it as "having no standing" in saying that their tax money is being used to support religious schools, since they are not direct donors to a scholarship organization. My employer, Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization, was the plaintiff in the case, and we have waited expectantly since last November to receive this ruling.
Not surprisingly, the vote went along party lines, with the five conservative justices voting in the majority of a 5-4 vote. Somewhat encouraging was the fact that President Obama verbally weighed in on our side. Groups such as associations of Jewish schools, independent schools, and virtually all Christian denominations also filed "friend of the court" briefs in our support.
A big "thank you" goes to all who faithfully prayed with us for this outcome. Also, here's a reminder that if you have not filed your 2010 taxes yet, there is still a way to make a donation on your 2010 income. Any Dove Mountaineer needing more info on how to do this may contact me directly.
