Texas Approves Islamic Schools for Voucher Program

Texas Islamic Schools Approved for Voucher Program: Parents Sue Over Religious Discrimination

The Texas comptroller has approved several Islamic private schools for the states new voucher program, following federal lawsuits alleging religious discrimination. Initially excluded due to concerns about ties to groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the schools were later accepted after a judge extended the application deadline and ordered officials to review their requests. The voucher program, launched under a 2025 law, allows families to use public funds for private or home schooling. More than 200,000 students applied, and over 2,200 schools joined so far. The program moves forward, potentially easing access for thousands more Texas families as the lottery selects voucher recipients.
