Trump order prioritizes school choice and vouchers, which Ohio has been expanding for decades
In 2024, Ohio spent more than a billion taxpayers' dollars on EdChoice for 82,946 students. Most went to religious schools, K–12 many non-chartered church affiliated schools, who push their doctrine. There is very little oversight in curriculum and staffing
They want to expand the program to allow for building and infrastructure grants to these outfits.
Meanwhile, #Ohio Republicans plan on slashing public-school funding.
Also, Ohio property taxes significantly fund schools. I don't want my property tax to go to a taxpayer funded k-12 school which teaches woman to obey and be submissive to their husbands.
An actual lesson plan below. Many use ACE, Accelerated Christain Education, comic book style, learn as you go, style booklets.
In Ohio, 275 independent fundamentalist Baptist churches operate more than a hundred k-12 schools, usually out of their church facilities and receive taxpayer funding. These aren't your average Baptists, not even Southern Baptists. Sorry if you are one, but they aren't.
Taxpayers are paying for lesson plans, like the one below. #Education #USPol
