    Fania Oz-Salzberger notes the disastrous consequences for Israel of a 1953 law which made provision for "the near-complete autonomy of ultra-Orthodox schools with no core curriculum, no secular subjects, no history and geography and languages, no sciences, hardly any math, and a heavily policed gender separation.

  4. #Ohio offers a new way to use public money for #ChristianSchools. Opponents say it’s unconstitutional

    COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — "Around the country, advocates for Christian education have been finding legal ways to tap #taxpayer money used more typically for #PublicSchools. One new approach in Ohio is benefiting schools tied to a burgeoning #conservative political group and facing objections from defenders of the #SeparationOfChurchAndState.

    "In President-elect Donald #Trump, backers of school choice have gained an ally in their efforts to share taxpayer money with families to pay for things like private school tuition. Trump has cast school choice as a way to counter what he calls leftist indoctrination in public classrooms and is expected to seek a boost for the movement at the federal level.

    "The Ohio case shows how governments can push the envelope to funnel money to private schools.

    "The state has put a small part of its budget surplus toward competitive grants for expanding and renovating #ReligiousSchools. Most of the winning construction projects are associated with the #CenterForChristianVirtue, an Ohio-based advocacy group that’s seen its revenues balloon amid the state’s push to expand religious educational options.

  6. The #Oklahoma SC blocked on Tues what would have been the nation’s first #religious charter #school, delivering a setback to a #conservative movement that has increasingly fought for #public dollars to go toward religious #education.

    The case is likely to be appealed, potentially pushing it toward #SCOTUS, whose conservative majority has broadly embraced the role of #religion in public life & signaled an openness to directing #taxpayer money to #ReligiousSchools.

  7. #DreamCity #Christian Academy promises to “Protect our campus from the infiltration of *unethical* agendas by rejecting all ‘#woke’ & *untruthful* ideologies being pushed on students.”

    This politically charged approach to #education likely isn’t for everyone—& because it’s a private #school, it doesn’t have to be. EXCEPT FOR ONE THING: Dream City Christian Academy is one of a growing number of #ReligiousSchools that are supported by #PublicFunds.

  8. #Project2025 created an alarmingly detailed playbook to restructure the entire federal government in service to the #ChristianNationalist agenda:

    - Ban #abortion and limit #reproductivehealthcare.
    - Dismantle #racialjustice protections and erect new
    - Eliminate the Department of #Education and divert public funds to private #religiousschools.
    - Roll back the rights of #LGBTQ+ people.
    - End #marriage #equality.
    - Redefine #religiousfreedom as an unrestricted license to #discriminate.
