Did any other president have plans like "Faith Based Initiatives"?
How many millions of dollars have been taken from the pockets of tax payers and put into the hands of conservative right-wingers by this?
How many tutors were not hired because the Churches found them to be "unfit to teach American History"?

Babe - it is obviously you who are mistaken... just google it or look it up on wikipedia... I know what FB Initiatives are because I was a tutor for NCLB...

It was Bill Clinton in 1996 who first passed the "Charitable Choice" provision, as part of his 1996 welfare reform bill that allowed smaller and more overtly religious groups to receive government funding for providing social services.
Check your facts.

The answer is: he is not the first, or last or anywhere in between because it just didn't happen. Why is it that libs believe you can fix the education (or any other) problem in the USA by throwing money at it?
No dollars have been taken from the pockets of tax payers and given to Churches. Why do you hate Christians so much?

Reagan, Bush 41 and Clinton all funded Faith Based programs.

Wow. If that is true, Bush is a better president than I thought!
You see, the church based private Catholic schools produce a much better citizen on average than any of the public schools around my area. And I'm not talking about a few schools here. In my city, about half of all the schools are Catholic schools, and their numbers blow away the public numbers for ACT, SAT, % grads, GPA, College bound students, etc, etc.
Why not learn from the best?

Think about it.
The Busch family has been running this country for Ronald Reagan's time with the exception of 8 years for bill Clinton.
So king Busch has 8 years for Ronald Reagan
4 years for Bush senior
and 8 years for G.W.Bush.
The saying is long live the king Double Duh

We are spending the money on the programs. The faith based work. I see no problem.
Your vitriol on conservatives is weak.

It does seem a little odd.
We can't say God in our schools, Yet we vote in our churches.
Somebody "public" has to pay for then "voting booths."
That problem would be solved, if "election day" were made a
"Public Day Off" to vote. To give everyone an "equal time" to
vote in our "school's."

Is it in our constitution to have public schools?

Probably Hoover did that as well. Actually, Reagan probably started it all.
