On the recordApril 6, 2000
the gentleman is aware, as we debated a number of times, that there are multiple rulings if it is used to teach primarily sectarian doctrine. In other words, if you teach religious doctrine, the courts clearly ruled. However, if one is pervasively sectarian, but not teaching religious views, the court has ruled in other cases. That is why we said consistent with the establishment clause, because it could be challenged. The fact is, HUD currently gives and has given hundreds of these grants around the country to pervasively sectarian organizations.
