Translation: taxpayer funded religious indoctrination, nationwide.
More broadly, it directs the Department of Education to prioritize school choice programs through its discretionary grant programs, and orders the Department of Health and Human Services to issue guidance on how states receiving block grants for families and children can use those funds to support private and faith-based institutions. >
So basically public schools are bad? Why should the public pay for private schooling?
It's both a money grab so rich bastards can feed on government money, and a way to segregate schools.
Also a way to shovel money to religious groups while defunding secular education.
And take money away from education for poor people!
Segregate and control the lessons. A public school probably can't teach the US is a Christian nation or that being gay is evil, but a religious private school...
I'm pretty sure that the major interest is from people who want a religious education for their kids, which public schools won't do, but who don't have the out-of-pocket cash to pay for it.

Looks like it.
Private schools are known for being selective, religiously affiliated or sometimes both, and charge tuition rather than receive public money.
During the 2021-22 school year, about three-quarters of private school K-12 students (77%) attended a religiously affiliated school
that's what it says on the cover, anyway. but that's just a teeny tiny b plot. the main storyline is the grift. it's always the grift. who's gonna make money off of taxpayers. even the religious indoctrination of our kids is secondary for the republicant 'leaders'
It depends, is your priority education or public education? That's what the debate is about
Christianity is a hate cult, your children will be indoctrinated!
Trump: Directs the Department of Education to prioritize school choice programs through its discretionary grant programs
Also Trump: Signs executive order freezing all federal grants
Looks like it corrected itself.
Get fucked
Well he did say he loves the poorly educated...
