Should Texas fund Muslim education?
American Thinker ^ | 2 Apr, 2026 | Carole Hornsby Haynes

On the one hand, America enshrines religious freedom and equal treatment for all religions. On the other, supremacist indoctrination is central to Islam. What to do?

A federal district judge has ruled that at least four Islamic schools in Texas are eligible to receive tax payer funding with dozens of others waiting to join, according to media reports. These include the Maryland-based virtual school Bayaan Academy, K–12 college prep school Brighter Horizons Academy in Garland, the Excellence Academy north of Dallas, and the K–12 Houston Quran Academy.

With public alarm growing over the Islamization of Texas due to mass immigration, state officials initially tried to exclude Islamic schools from receiving funding through the new billion-dollar school choice program, the Texas Education Freedom Accounts (TEFA). Concerned about links to terrorism and a dubious accreditation agency, officials rejected most of the applications from Islamic schools and reversed those that had been approved.

Under the voucher program, taxpayers fund more than $10,000 for student tuition at state-approved private schools. Eligible homeschool students can receive up to $2,000 for approved expenses. As expected with government programs, funds come with conditions and restrictions.

Many of the schools that have applied are linked to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has been designated a terrorist organization by Texas governor Greg Abbott because it is connected to Hamas and the Mother Brotherhood.

Abbott defended his opposition: “We don’t want school choice funds going to radical Islamic indoctrination with historic connections to terrorism.”

The lawsuit employs the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment along with Freedom of Religion of the First Amendment. The plaintiffs claim religious discrimination against Muslim parents and Islamic schools that have been excluded from the approved list of private schools for voucher funding, while hundreds of other religious (mostly Christian) schools are

Do we really want to fund the destruction of Western Civilization?

Not if they are affiliated with a terrorist organization like CAIR.

So you’re unacquainted with Islam?

Why should we train soldiers for a totalitarian political system at odds with the Constitution?

Don’t even think about it.
And in any case, anything Muslim is NOT education.
If you want a civil insurrection, try it, leftist Dorkbamaholes.
Islam, the religion that wants to ruin your culture as much as they have ruined theirs.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with including Moslem schools in a voucher program, as long as they are closely monitored to ensure they are neither inciting murder nor insurrection. It’s a bit more overhead than funding a Christian or Jewish school.

Pretty easy answer. If a schooling system, asking for funding by the state, preaches the killing of those that aren’t like them and does not accept the laws of the land, but instead imposes its own barbaric laws, then NO funding.

From mosque to madrasa, forward operating bases for Islam. Destroy your civilization dhimmi.

They are brainwashed by their prophet with certain satanic commands; among them are death, slavery and the pursuit of the infidel.

Yes, because Catholics and Jews do not believe in killing no -believers of their faith. Only the rotten Islam does that.

It should be simple to declare that Islam does not meet the definition of religion as described in the Constitution, and is therefore ineligible for the protection thereof. Islam is simply not welcome here by anyone.

Since "religious education" funding is argued by Muzzies to be mandated, then the YouTube two-hour presentation as below should be also mandated to the included in public curriculum.

It is time to reclassify Islam as a supremacist, terrorist political ideology rather than a religion.

“... America enshrines religious freedom and equal treatment for all religions ...”

The first thing to remember that cult of pieces is not a religion. No legitimate religion threatens you with death if you decide to convert out of the cult.

islam is a totalitarian/communist ideology that opposes the Constitution.

As such, it is treason.

Not only should islam be banned in US...but ALL muzzoid adherents should be deported.

It’s not rocket science...

Bonus: “allah” is just another brand name for satan.

No. We should fund givivg their asses an Uber ride to the airport with a warning to never come back. Muzzies are not Americans. They never will be.

The koran instructs that all unbelievers should be killed and that islam will establish a world-wide caliphate. Can a muslim school get rid of the islam and the koran?
