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.

Does the Islamic schools accept students of all religions? I know for certain that catholic schools do. I went to school with many students who were not Catholics and even a few who were not Christians (Hindu). The non Catholics were exempt from the religion course, although they did need to take Latin.

Our kids' Christian school decided not to accept vouchers. They don't want any risk of the government involving themselves in our school operations, who we admit, what we teach, etc.
But I'm off topic. Did any Muslim schools meet the criteria?

I don't disagree with you but what do you suppose we do to rectify this?

Wise decision.
And if we're going to have a country built on freedom of religion, then by definition that means you won't be able to exclude Muslim, satanic, Hindu, Buddhist, etc schools. Why Texas didn't see this coming is baffling.

What we can't - ban Islam.
What we can if we have the balls - Close the border to any Islamic country on the planet.

The voucher program ended up being a joke and a campaign commercial for Abbott and Patrick.
To make matters worse to get it to pass they gave I think it was 14 billion to teacher unions as the compromise.
All to claim Texas has school vouchers - when it's a joke lottery 1% system.

I'm surprised that people are surprised. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Are you also going to be surprised when the Five Pillars of Islam is displayed next to the Ten Commandments in schools?

Jokes on them. I have at least 10 Muslim schools opening soon that will be getting vouchers.

My general take is that the voucher program should be tied directly to your property tax roll. You get taxed 2k per year by the school district? Here is your 2k voucher.
No application process. No 500% poverty test, no disability tiers. Don't even have to get into this muslim vs christian school fight.
Even throw a bone to apartments. Whats the tax roll of the whole apartment divided by the units. Its not paid directly by the renter but it is still paid by them.
Its not equal, but its fair.

The whole point of vouchers is to give the poor a leg up and ability to flee the inner city nonsense. This would give mansion dwellers a blank check and poorer apartment goers pennies.
Disclaimer: I have always been against the whole thing from the beginning and we homeschool to avoid this mess of a situation.

If Ching Chong can become Jeff, then Shakila can call herself Sue.

Quote:
A federal judge on Tuesday ordered Texas to extend the application deadline for private school vouchers by two weeks due to the state's exclusion of Islamic schools from the program.
The extension comes after four Muslim parents and three Islamic private schools sued Texas leaders earlier this month, arguing state leaders discriminated against their religion by excluding them from the program. A lawyer representing plaintiffs in one of the lawsuits confirmed the ruling to The Texas Tribune.
Acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock Texas' chief financial officer who manages the voucher program has prevented Islamic schools from participating in the program over claims that some are associated with foreign terrorist organizations.
Hancock has said schools accredited by the company Cognia 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.
Before the court order, the application window for Texas' school voucher program was set to close at 11:59 p.m. Tuesday for families who want to use public funds to pay for private school or home-school during the 2026-27 academic year.

Here for the reactions of those who pushed vouchers when they find out they're funding Islamic schools

So don't the right thing because evil will try to do the wrong thing?
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.

For fun, ask your school how many SPED applications came in since January. With higher priority (and more dollars) going to families with a SPED determination, many families are seeking them now.
