"Taxpayer Billions Fund Religious Schools Through Vouchers"

Billions in taxpayer dollars are increasingly being used to fund tuition at religious schools through expanding state voucher programs, blurring the line between public education and religion. These programs, popular in GOP-led states, allow families to use government money for private education, with a significant portion directed to religious institutions. Critics argue this diverts funds from public schools and undermines the separation of church and state, while supporters claim it provides parents with more educational choices. Recent Supreme Court rulings have facilitated this shift, raising concerns about the future of public education funding.
