I don't understand how we got into a position where we send tax money to privately funded and religious based schools.

Ha! Sorry friend, but they didn't determine the books of the Bible during the Nicean Council of 325 (see Bart Erhman for reference, not Dan Brown). The books of the Bible were hotly contested for many years which is why we don't have the gnostic gospels reflected in today's versions of the book. Judas, Thomas, the shepherd of Hermas, are all great fan-fics written the same time everyone was pretending to be Paul.
