#Ohio offers a new way to use public money for #ChristianSchools. Opponents say it’s unconstitutional
By JULIE CARR SMYTH
Updated 12:09 AM EST, November 17, 2024COLUMBUS, 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.

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.

The #GOP is a fatally dysfunctional party that's incapable of governing. At this point, #HouseRepublicans push to remove the Speaker as soon as he does something, anything, that they don't like. They are unable to provide stable leadership, and the result is chaos, and #taxpayer-funded paychecks for Representatives who accomplish nothing for the American people. Voting to put them in control is an act of insanity.
