No, religious charter schools do not violate the Separation of Church and State (SCS), or at least not what that was supposed to be. SCS is SUPPOSED to give Americans freedom OF religion, not freedom from religion. A school should not be denied public funding because it has a religious leaning.
Also, if parents know that the school has that religious leaning, it is their choice to send their child to that school or to a different one.
Personally, I am in favor of vouchers for education. I attended a private religious high school which does not receive government funding, and I think it is stupid that my parents had to pay taxes for public schools on top of the tuition for my school. That is ridiculous!
Definitely not
