    I mean, the “we can’t afford domestic spending” is also their way of transitioning domestic spending to privatize industries to enrich themselves and their buddies.

    Curious to see how we never have a dime to spend on public school, but we’ve always got another million for vouchers to church-owned ones.

        Texas families have two more weeks to apply for the state’s school voucher program. That’s because of two new lawsuits that claim the state is excluding Islamic private schools from participating.

        The state comptroller’s office runs the voucher program. In January, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said the agency has the right to exclude schools from participating.

          Just straight up bigotry as policy. The Texas special, but it’s everywhere these days.
