re: texas governor shutting down private school vouchers will cripple Muslim private schools

Good luck finding inferior Christian schools just about anywhere.

Outside of the states that rank 45-50th in education parochial schools aren’t considered inherently superior to most public and almost every private school. People send their kids there because of the religious preference, to avoid public standards, and for segregation preferences. Some parents don’t want their kids around other kids from different religions.

You have no idea what you’re talking about. My wife has worked for a very big district in Texas for 25 years. 99% of educators are against vouchers.

99% of educators believe what their union tells them to believe.

I’ve forgotten more about our education system than you know.

You would be correct. Muslim schools make up 3% of the private schools in Texas. It’s immaterial.

The Muslim population is 1-2% of Texas so yea that is high.

Won’t the new dem governor just reopen them in a few months?

The new governor is one that’s the going to stop them . Socialist are against anything they can’t control with the government.

I don't have kids but all of my friends in Texas sent their kids to public schools and none of them complain about the quality of education their kids received.

Incredible anecdote.

75% of kids can’t read on grade level in Texas public schools.

They’re doing awesome.

Yep. And it’s not just teachers and teachers unions who are against the voucher program and/or current leadership.

You can have conversations with families at Little League Fields all over the state, and they will tell you that the TEA commissioner and the changes are making it worse.

That’s why 75% of Texans are against it.

Sharia/muslim private schools because they are more dependent on the state welfare.

That's horseshite designed to get you to choke it down and agree with it. How many black, latino, and white kids are likely muslim? Most of them are likely classified as Asian, which is 5% of less of funded participants, if every single Asian were in fact going to a Muslim school. I hope you don't vote.

I’m a proud product of a public Texas High School.

But I won’t be sending my kids to that school unless something changes. Fortunately we can afford private school, but it’s a damn shame. Because
this will continue to jack up the tuition costs for private schools, which are already exorbitant.

Feels like the high property taxes aren’t being put towards their intended use.

These public school districts are wasting 15k per student per year in taxpayer money to get abysmal academic results. Why should families who want something better for their kids be forced to foot the bill for services they don't use?

they arent efficient.
they arent suitable.


and they sure as hell arent free.


tax credits, tax exemptions, and vouchers dont violate anyone's constitution. dont lecture me about "affordability" while you are fleecing me for taxes to fund all flavor of retardation and waste.
