This summer, Texas began rolling out $1 billion in public funding that eligible families can put toward private education expenses. Republican-controlled state legislatures around the country have approved a cascade of similar programs in the past six years, alarming public school advocates.

These programs mean half of school-age children in the United States are now eligible to apply for state money to attend private schools. In the U.S., most private schools are religious. Securing public money for them raises issues over church-state separation but fulfills a longstanding goal for Christian conservatives, who lobbied for this funding.

 
The money is easing the burden on public schools. Otherwise new public schools would need to be built and run.

Does this include using tax money to support Islamic schools?

Texas taxpayers will foot bill for parents to send children to Islamic private schools after judge ruled vouchers must be given to Muslims​


Texas taxpayers will help pay for children to attend Islamic private schools after a federal judge ordered the state to stop excluding them from a voucher program worth $1 billion.

The move comes after a group of Muslim parents and schools sued the state, arguing they were unfairly blocked from the initiative simply because of their religion.

At least four Islamic schools have now been approved to receive the taxpayer-funded vouchers, marking a major shift in how the program is being rolled out.

Taxpayers will foot bill for kids to go to Islamic private schools

Texas's governor claims the schools are linked to an organization he designated a terrorist group last year. The schools strongly refute any such links.

Maybe if public schools and teachers unions were doing their job even adequately and apolitically, this sort of program wouldn't be necessary.

That's really funny that Texans are going to have to use their tax dollars to support Islamic schools.
