Protestant group warns of Maine bus law backlash
Dr. Herbert Southgate of Arlington Virginia, representing Protestants United for Separation of Church and State, warned at a Maine Citizens for Public Schools event that Maine's school bus law could worsen Catholic-Protestant tensions. He urged a statewide referendum before the September 16 effective date, while the petition drive seeks 42,000 signatures. only 5,176 collected so far. The measure lets towns choose locally whether to run bus services for private and parochial students, which Southgate says opens the door to broader state funding of parochial education.
