“Evolution Has Become a Cult” and Other Lessons Your Taxes Are Supporting
Gov. Hogan’s vouchers program has sent $315,200 to schools teaching highly controversial curricula.
Since its inception, Gov. Hogan’s private school vouchers program has been controversial. The vouchers have gone overwhelmingly to students already in private schools. They’ve gone to schools that discriminate against students and their families. And study after study shows vouchers don’t actually help students, despite the strong support of Gov. Hogan and Betsy DeVos.
Add a new reason to why Gov. Hogan’s program should end: some schools teach what could generously be called highly controversial curricula, primarily from Bob Jones University and A Beka Books. Read some of it for yourself…
4 Quotes About Non-Europeans
“After seeing all these bountiful gifts of God in the natural world, the people of Africa might have joined with the Psalmist in saying ‘O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom thou hast made them all’ (Psa. 104:24). The Africans might have done so; yet, by and large, they did not. Rather, like the early Celtic and Anglo-Saxon inhabitants of Britain, the Vikings of Scandinavia, and all other people who have not received the gospel, ‘they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.’ The history of mankind in Africa has been sad.” History of the World in Christian Perspective, p. 335

$315,200 of Taxpayer Dollars Have Gone to Schools Teaching This Curricula
Since it began two years ago, at least 9 schools that reportedly use Bob Jones University and/or A Beka curricula have received $315,200 in private school vouchers, according to a recent Huffington Post investigation and state records from previous years of vouchers funding. That’s your tax dollars supporting the teaching of evolution as a hoax, feminism as a “disastrous fruit,” and governments being able to force people to say they are Christians.
Larry Hogan apparently is fine with this. “Everybody thinks it’s a great program now and working very well. … It’s been terrific,” Hogan told the Baltimore Sun. In his budget this year, he proposed increasing funding for these private school vouchers once again.
If you disagree, call your legislators by dialing 1–888–520–6732 and tell them to end funding for Gov. Hogan’s private school vouchers program.
