Reminder: School Choice Week Is a Vehicle to Promote Taxpayer Money for Private Religious Schools

It seems that it’s no coincidence that National Catholic Schools Week follows National School Choice Week. After all, in most states, the vast majority of students receiving vouchers use those vouchers to attend private, religious schools. And, it’s no secret that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops supports the creation and reauthorization of private school vouchers throughout the country.

Aside from violating the principle of the separation of church and state, allowing taxpayer money to flow to religious schools also entails government funding of discriminatory practices, such as allowing those private schools to deny admissions to students based on religion and to teach anti-LGBT curriculum. While there are many, many reasons to oppose private school vouchers, at the end of the day, it’s important to remember what the driving force behind voucher programs really are, and the religious liberty threats that are inherent to the school choice debate.
