In Missouri, Nearly all state funding for school vouchers used for religious schools

Missouri’s private school voucher program just got a major boost — and a dose of controversy. With $50 million in new state funding, MOScholars has more than doubled its scholarships this year, but nearly all of that money — 98% — is flowing to religious schools. Supporters say the expansion gives more families access to quality education. Critics argue it blurs the line between church and state, diverting public dollars to institutions that can set their own admissions standards and beliefs. Annelise Hanshaw with Missouri Independent has the full story.
