Grants for parents when schools teach controversial race theories.
This bill proposes a grant program for parents whose children attend public schools that promote specific, controversial views on race in their curriculum. Parents could use these funds for private school tuition, tutoring, homeschooling expenses, or educational materials. The grant amount would depend on household income and could cover a significant portion of educational costs.
Key points
Parents can receive grants if their school teaches that one race is superior/inferior, the U.S. is racist, or an individual's worth is determined by race.
Grant funds can be used for private schools, tutoring, homeschooling, or educational materials.
Grant amounts vary by household income, with lower incomes receiving higher percentages of per-pupil funding.
The program targets students from households with incomes below 250% of the reduced-price lunch rate income.
