No, if you start pushing Christian stuff in schools then you will have to allow Muslim horse**** in schools.
There is reason we've avoided doing this, historically. And considering how left wing schools are now we would be stupid to start doing this.

When did we avoid doing this "historically?" Your view only took hold within the last 60 or so years.

And for good reason. Considering how diverse we are now we are inviting evil into the classrooms. It's shortsighted and stupid.

Quote:
Hancock Texas' chief financial officer who manages the voucher program in late 2025 requested an opinion from Paxton, asking if he could exclude schools from the voucher program based on their connections to groups designated as foreign terrorist organizations or foreign adversaries.
Hancock said schools associated with the accreditation company Cognia had hosted events organized by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Muslim civil rights group that Gov. Greg Abbott recently designated a terrorist organization. CAIR has sued Abbott over the label, calling it defamatory and false. The U.S. State Department has not designated the organization a terrorist group.
Quote:
Hancock shut hundreds of Cognia-accredited schools out of the voucher program, including those that primarily serve Muslim students, Christian students and children with disabilities, which the Houston Chronicle first reported.
Paxton released an opinion in January stating his belief that Hancock has the authority to block certain schools from participating in the program if they are "illegally tied to terrorists or foreign adversaries." To date, no Islamic schools are known to have been accepted into the state voucher program.
The comptroller's office said it began inviting groups of Cognia schools that it considers in compliance with the law to participate, though it is unclear what that review entails.

The first lawsuit was filed by a Muslim father because no Islamic schools were approved new voucher program. Looks like he has a good case because the school he sends his kids to should qualify.

I think the young being educated in parochial schools will be so much better educated than those being indoctrinated into woke/democrat ideology with rainbow flags and drag queen library hour in the public school system. And it will be reflected in earnings and net worth as the children grow up.

When my son's private school had Brighter Horizons in their district before we got bigger, I saw quickly how much those people despised us and had zero desire to welcome anyone to their gym.
Muslims are simply nasty people.
Oh and we beat tf out of them until they damn near lost their desire to rape boys.

10 commandments are the foundational basis for our country. It's not the same as forced prayer or religious indoctrination.
...Not teaching the commandments is malpractice.

Nope this was about giving parents who already had students enrolled in private schools tuition assistance
Everything else was clever marketing to obscure the actual intent
Maybe giving parents who decide their interests would be better served by pulling their kids out of the local public schools some tuition assistance is a good idea but that is a different discussion
