Editor,
Government-subsidized services for the poor in predominantly Christian New Mexico are being monopolized by private Christian entities owning housing, notably for retired seniors; subsidized charter schools sucking precious public funds away from properly public schools; colleges (some of questionable pedigree) availing of scarce federal student aid; and hospitals with explicitly Christian names through which vast public moneys travel in the form of Medicaid reimbursements.
What next? New Mexico’s indigent but non-Christian citizens effectively blackmailed into converting or facing discriminatory loss of access to housing, schools, colleges and even hospitals?
Sincerely,
Arun Anand Ahuja
