    It’s both a money grab so rich bastards can feed on government money, and a way to segregate schools.

      Segregate and control the lessons. A public school probably can’t teach the US is a Christian nation or that being gay is evil, but a religious private school…

      I’m pretty sure that the major interest is from people who want a religious education for their kids, which public schools won’t do, but who don’t have the out-of-pocket cash to pay for it.

      Private schools are known for being selective, religiously affiliated or sometimes both, and charge tuition rather than receive public money.

      During the 2021-22 school year, about three-quarters of private school K-12 students (77%) attended a religiously affiliated school

        that’s what it says on the cover, anyway. but that’s just a teeny tiny b plot. the main storyline is the grift. it’s always the grift. who’s gonna make money off of taxpayers. even the religious indoctrination of our kids is secondary for the republicant ‘leaders’
