Stimulus bill forbids $$ for religion

The legislative team at American Center for Law and Justice has noticed that a provision in Section 803 of the measure contains language that would prohibit schools that accept funding for the renovation of university facilities from allowing religious activity to take place at those facilities. . . .

The provision reads: “Grants awarded under this section shall be for the purpose of modernizing, renovating, and repairing institution of higher education facilities that are primarily used for instruction and research,” according to ACLJ, which specializes in protecting religious liberties.

Funds may not be used for “modernization, renovation, or repair of facilities -(i) used for sectarian instruction, religious worship, or a school or department of divinity; or (ii) in which a substantial portion of the functions of the facilities are subsumed in a religious mission.”

So Duke University can’t remodel a building in which part of its Department of Divinity is housed? Our church has an outreach at the student union of a public university. Does that mean the university can’t take the bailout to fix up the union? Why add such a provision?
