Takeaways from AP's report on churches starting schools in voucher states

Some churches are launching new Christian schools on their campuses, seeking to give parents more education options that align with religious values.State school voucher programs are not the driving reason, but they are making the start-up process easier, pastors and Christian education experts say. In Florida, Ohio and other states, there is now a greater availability of taxpayer funding to pay for K-12 private school tuition. The demand for church-affiliated schools, they say, rose out of pandemic-era scrutiny over what children were being taught in public schools about gender, sexuality and other contentious issues.
