Memphis Sparks: Are you as adamant about the separation of church and state in the area of school vouchers? Are you as adamant that public tax dollars would be used to send kids to Catholic-Lutheran-Jewish-fundamentalist Christian schools?

You have the same thing around the country. If white churches were politically partisan like black churches they would definitely lose their tax exempt status. The local churches endorse, bring their liberal candidates in to talk, fund raise, make sure their members vote correctly, etc.. A definite double standard and a violation of the tax code. In fact, many black churches are closer to being political arms than they are religious entities.
