NC legislators have reached a deal to allow all families to use taxpayer funding to send their children to private schools.

Here are the schools that received the most taxpayer money through the NC voucher program this year, who they'll admit, and what they teach:
#ncpol, #nced

Grace Christian School in Sanford enrolled 371 students with vouchers this year, receiving $2,261,497.

The school teaches a strict "Biblical worldview" curriculum and explicitly states homosexuality is a sin.

Berean Baptist Academy in Fayetteville received $1,779,599 this year in NC dollars.

It uses textbooks from the publisher Abeka which introduce Nelson Mandela as a "communist sympathizer" and say former slaves "were not prepared for political responsibility." #nced #ncpol

Under its Articles of Faith, the Berean Baptist Church, which oversees the school, states:

"God has ordained distinct and separate spiritual functions for men and women in the home and church. The husband is to be the leader of the home..." #nced #ncpol

25,524 students enrolled in NC private schools this year through the Opportunity Scholarship vouchers.

If it were a school district, the voucher program would be the 12th largest in the state. #nced

I'm not arguing vouchers are inherently wrong. I get the parental choice argument.

But there are facts like the age of the Earth and the natural existence of gay people that I do feel our tax dollars need to promote/defend.
