The Supreme Court ruled a Maine program violated the Free Exercise Clause
by excluding religious schools

Daily Beast columnist Wajahat Ali was mocked on Twitter for his take
following Tuesday's Supreme Court decision on the free exercise of
religion.

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in the case Carson v. Maykin, striking down
part of Maine's tuition assistance program. In the majority opinion, Chief
Justice John Roberts wrote that Maine's program violated the First
Amendment�s Free Exercise Clause because it excluded religious schools,
overturning the previous U.S. Court of Appeals ruling.

Ali was immediately critical of the ruling and appeared to assume it was
part of an effort to exclusively push Christianity, tweeting, "Let's see
what happens if a bunch of Islamic schools now pop up."

He also warned, "After today's Supreme Court holdings [sic] I hope more
people research white Christian nationalism in America. You have to
understand the threat we are all facing."

As the day continued, Ali posted more inciting tweets, calling for
conservatives to accept Islamic and Church of Satan schools in response to
the Supreme Court ruling.

"Private Islamic schools and Jewish schools should open up all over Maine.
The state has to fund you now so take advantage of it. Move your
communities there as well. Let's see what the Supreme Court says..." Ali
tweeted.

He added, "Do Maine taxpayers have to fund a Church of Satan school? I
mean based on the Supreme Court ruling the answer would have to be yes,
right?"

Ali was soon called out for these tweets with many users pointing out that
the ruling would allow exactly what he says.

RealClearInvestigations Senior Writer Mark Hemingway tweeted, "The Union
of Orthodox Jewish Congregations and the Council of Islamic Schools filed
an amicus brief in support of the SCOTUS' ruling today. The court is aware
and I hope both groups take advantage of this."

"Your terms are acceptable," Washington Examiner Executive Editor Seth
Mandel tweeted.

Attorney Case Mattox exclaimed, "Yes! More educational options for more
families! Endorsed!"

Washington Examiner columnist Becket Adams tweeted, "schools catering to
socially conservative communities? no please dont [sic] throw me into that
briar patch."

"Example: 4,782,440,521 of how the left has absolutely no idea what we
believe or support," author Chad Felix Greene tweeted.

The case of Carson vs. Makin was one of many high-profile cases heard this
term. Another expected to be decided in June is Dobbs v. Jackson Women's
Health Organization, which could overturn Roe v. Wade.
