Robert E. Nordlander: Taxpayers shouldn’t foot bill for religious foods

Dear Editor: The Associated Press recently carried the following news item:

“UW-Madison is opening a kosher meat kitchen in a residence hall dining room starting this fall. Muslims who follow Islamic dietary laws, called halal, will also be accommodated.”

Is the University of Wisconsin-Madison violating the Constitution of Wisconsin because it has chosen to accommodate those people whose food consumption is dictated by religion?
