    Is it hypocritical to oppose in principle state aid to private schools, and in particular religious schools, but then to take advantage of a state tax credit offering indirect state aid to private schools and religious schools?

    I think so.

    On the other hand, I am strongly in favor of conservation and climate change initiatives but have a yard with grass requiring water. So call me a liberal hypocrite.

    Anyone who thinks they are not hypocritical on some level is either delusional or hypocritical.

    Agreed. Life is complex.
