Arizona has private school vouchers whereby a parent who wants their kid in a private school can redirect about $8k of public funding toward any private school of choice. The private schools are designed to indoctrinate kids into right-wing conservative ideology. One school in AZ even advertises their “anti-woke” agenda which is embedded in Christian religion indoctrination that teaches creation.

This new direction seems to really stimulate the Trump dream of division that will stoke two different polarized sets of facts in future generations. Also interesting to note that private schools raised tuition after the vouchers were implemented.

This move seems to be quite a victory for republicans. But I have to ask, isn’t there a constitutional church/state separation issue here?
