Billions in taxpayer dollars are being used to pay tuition at religious schools throughout the country, as state voucher programs expand dramatically and the line separating public education and religion fades.

Contact your representatives and senators. Unless of course, you want your tax dollars to pay for religious schools, ie; christian schools.

I love my tax money going to the same religion I ran away from screaming because they literally kept telling me I should die and go to hell (:

Religion yet again, picking the public pocket, they don't pay taxes as religious schools and they suck up the public taxes.

And by "religious schools," some actually mean MAGA indoctrination. That's the drift where I live in rural Montana. New private schools are emerging, promising that parents won't have to worry about their kids turning out "woke." They'll be qualified to clean houses or sell firewood. Geez!

If they can carve out exemptions from tax-payer dollars for issues they don't like, I want the same. I don't want one cent of my tax dollars spent on their religious schools.

If I was King of America, public funds would only go to public schools. If you want to send your spawn to a child abuse factory, pay for it with your own money.

So what you're saying is that we're becoming a country where kids are forced to learn at Madrasas (the Christian kind, though)

This practice is a tragedy; undermining public schools to give discounts to people who really don't need it, while at the same time, deducting 100% of the vouchers from public school funding. Vouchers to Religious schools? Just wow.

Let’s just highlight a Muslim school getting public tax dollars and get angry conservatives to end this… since the rest of us who don’t want to live in a theocracy have no say in how our government operates.

Imagine if the government gave me a voucher for healthcare and I decided to spend it for an abortion, would that be ok?

Any higher education institutions that receive government funding/assistance should have rules in place to ensure that all opinions are treated and heard respectfully. This would include religious and liberal colleges. The loudest should not be given the most attention.
