This is fucked. They are allowing your tax dollars to be used for Christian Fundamentalist Schools. All that fear mongering about "brainwashing" your kids with CRT and the LGBT-agenda in public schools that never existed, and the Republicans are literally trying to push a religious agenda down the throats of this citizens of this state.

How long before girls are banned from the higher level STEM classes and instead required to take Home Ec and urged to be stay at home mothers and wives, you know, like Harrison Butker and his wife suggested?

We are fucking backsliding as a society....

I taught in Louisiana in an open enrollment charter school. The charter system there might as well be legal segregation. We were around 90% black students, while the much bigger nicer test-in charter school that we were right next to and could see through our windows all day was like 95% white. Guess what school got all the money, athletic fields, etc. our school didn't even have a gym in the decrepit 120 year old building that was falling apart around us. The two schools were supposed to share the athletic field between them when they transitioned from public schools to charter (post Katrina). The white school built a fence around it blocking access to our students.
The whole charter system was a mess the entire time I worked with it.

It’s bad enough that religions get to freeload and not pay taxes but now they’re trying to take our tax dollars to pay for their indoctrination.

Louisiana was rated the worst state in America. They're cementing that position.

I love parts of Louisiana but my god what a shit hole state

Let's open a private school devoted to teaching CRT or some other boogyman they don't like and funnel all our tax money there and watch them get rid of the law as fast as they can.

Imagine being that one downvoter in the sub so brainwashed you think this is a good thing. Believing you're persecuted as a Xtian and fighting some delusional battle for people's "souls".

The dream of the right since public schools became integrated.

They've been pushing for this for decades, just like the abortion ban. They're slowly getting all the awful things they want.

So does that mean that these private schools are bound to the US Constitution now? Freedom of speech, religion, etc?

This country DOES NOT speak the same language state to state on most topics - education chief among them. The concept of "education" means something completely different in Mississippi versus California, for instance.  

There has been a slow motion systematic dismantling of public education in "red states" and things like the increasing prevalence of religious influence on our laws and education infrastructure. These things severely impact the quantity and quality of teaching resources. Republicans want undereducated, easily-frightened and broken people to grow up to not vote, or to vote to perpetuate the status quo that they know (an objectively broken system).

Charter schools are funded by vouchers. At first, you'd have options for multiple schools in most places, then the vouchers would cover less and less each year with you spending more and more out of pocket. Then, religious schools would in turn lower their tuitions (as they can afford to subsidize if it means indoctrinating new kids). The result is that families with less money would go with whatever the voucher covers, which would only be religious schools in more and more areas with tone. That's the plan.

Louisiana is CONSTANTLY at the bottom of the nation in terms of their education offerings. Here's one of those lists: https://www.newsweek.com/most-least-educated-states-america-ranked-1583019. These are craven theocratic fascists and they won't rest until public education is eliminated.

Private schools can push certain agendas to your minds for control easier than public schools. John oliver did a special on Charter schools and another on religious schools.

Without looking I’m sure Louisiana is already bottom state in at least a dozen major education metrics. This ensures that ten years from now it will be even more.

I guess it is time to let them try thier experiment. I think we all know how it will get twisted and perverted. But Louisiana is probably already a lost cause. Maybe we should provide financial assistance to people wanting to move from a red state to a blue state... kinda like internal asylum. It should go both ways of course.

~~Private~~ Religious schools

Yea this is happening in Tennessee too.
