Conservatives have always hated the civil rights act. That's when private schools led by segregationist preachers like Jerry Falwell got their start. With Trump it's a return to Jim Crow south.

Yes, true. But it's worse than that. The real motivation behind the scheme to vilify, undermine and ultimately destroy our public schools, is to create a White Supremacist Oligarchy in which only kids from rich white families get a good-quality education.

They have to *want* to believe them first.

I meant to say good students, good teachers, bad idea.

In Mississippi the constitution specifically forbids using public funds from being used to support any school that is not free! The turds running the state are trying hard to get around it!

I went to a segregated high school in Albany, GA, the site of the first sidewalk sit-ins. The high school integrated the next year (1965) and by the time I returned for my 10th AHS reunion, nearly all my favorite teachers had gone to new, white, private schools created to avoid integration.

In other words -- the "20 mostly white academies" are a race-hate scam that should not be receiving taxpayers' money.

Everything is going backwards. At this rate, we will be Gilead by next Christmas.

That's what the voucher system's ultimate intent is.

Separation of church and state…another democratic principle gone by the wayside.

Disgusting.

This is so frustrating. The elite wealthy continue to take everything.

Vouchers are pushed by whites, for whites. Segregation in the south in schools is not new.

At least they're all in the same place......and everyone knows where

Really important story. Move to the puck. More of this coming.

BS, white people have always had privilege in this country. The freedom of choice everyone has is not freedom to discriminate against ANY others.

Why am I not surprised at this at all?

😂

I was going to school down there when the desegregation plans were handed down. Those "church schools" sprang up like toadstools after a rain.

Our school's are in big trouble. Money lost to private schools and forced prayer time, ugh

Christian Nationalist breeding grounds?

Grifting public money: the whitest of pastimes
