This story is good news.
I've always had my doubts about the Constitutionality of government funding of faith-based organizations. It violates the Establishment Clause in my opinion.
Furthermore, I don't think it fair that organizations who get tax-exempt status under the 1st Amendment should get tax money from those of us without the same benefits. Why should those groups who don't pay expand at the expense of those who do?
It's unfortunate for the populations these organizations serve, but we can ill-afford to fudge even a single time on the Constitution. It is inviolate.
The law is the law and to allow any exceptions sets a bad precedent.
