Texas Voucher Program Faces Lawsuits for Religious Discrimination

Published 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Description

Four Muslim parents and three private schools in Texas have filed federal lawsuits against state officials, alleging discrimination in the states new voucher program. The program, launched last year, allows families to use public money for private or home schooling. However, none of the Islamic schools have been approved, despite meeting all rules. The suits target Attorney General Ken Paxton, Comptroller Kelly Hancock, and Education Commissioner Mike Morath. The plaintiffs seek to stop what they call discriminatory practices and force approval for eligible Islamic schools before the application deadline.
