Students Banned from Blogging

Re:Tax dollars...

And there is the problem right there...in economic terms, they are receiving tax dollars in the sense that the church isn't paying any taxes. Sorry, but if you want to restrict speech like a regular private entity can, then you should not accept a free ride on property taxes from the government (ie MY WALLET). You can't have it both ways.
