If Texas excludes Islamic schools, it isn’t school choice | Opinion https://t.co/CYOeqiLclq via @houstonchron

Ironically, the Constitution gives the feds no authority to "supercharge our civics education."

Education is one of innumerable things left to the people and states.

[Neal McCluskey @NealMcCluskey]

Why are we paying for these kinds of messages?

I thought this department was going away.

Excluding Islamic Schools Defeats the Purpose of School Choice https://t.co/xAeC5W0bs1 via @CatoInstitute

Thankfully, we got some good news on this today.

But not enough.

[Neal McCluskey @NealMcCluskey]

Are you against school choice but for federal involvement in education, despite the Constitution giving the feds no authority to govern in ed?

This is what can happen:

@JasonBedrick Just in a quick scan I see parents will be limited to a list of approved curricula and will only be able to make purchases through the online marketplace. Bye-bye flexibility, purchasing used materials, trying out new options. And that's just skimming the surface. I'm so baffled.

Thankfully, there is at least temporary relief.

[Neal McCluskey @NealMcCluskey]

🚨🚨Good news:

A federal court has ruled that Islamic schools must be allowed to apply to participate in the Texas Education Freedom Accounts program & has extended the family application deadline.

A win for freedom and equality under the law!

I like the minimalism.

But where is even that in the Constitution?

[Neal McCluskey @NealMcCluskey]

Unless authorities in Alabama have evidence this Islamic school is doing something illegal & they can prove it in court, it should be treated no differently from any other school.

It would be empowering for Kentucky families to have school choice.

But constitutionally, federal education tax credits shouldn't exist.

Have higher education leaders ever said, "That cut would be fine":

"But any cuts to Pell would be devastating, higher education leaders say."
https://t.co/LiKE0bS5Bq

And remember:

Taxpayers fund Pell & we have an almost $39 TRILLION national debt.

Polarization in education is not just about bathroom policies, history curricula, or other intensely personal matters.

It's about teaching math, too.
