text: While the Blaine Amendment is not longer used to discriminate against Catholics, your comment re using public funds for religious purposes is no more apt that the arguments against Planned Parenthood because of their support for abortion.
  
  The DougCo vouchers are worth about 1/3 the cost of tuition at Regis. Do you believe religious education comprises more than 2/3 the education provided at Regis? Having known a student who attended, I can assure you it's not. No math problems cleverly hiding religious arguments. No Chemistry showing us how electrons respond to God's Will.
  
  I may be one of the least religious persons you will ever encounter here and I can see the difference between secular education at a religious high school and a "religious purpose". Similarly, I can see the difference between Planned Parenthood's abortion services and the remainder of their work.
  
  We separate these functions with accounting, a topic which I believe you have at least passing familiarity.
