Similar Stories to Betsy Devos: If Parents Want To Discriminate Against Lgbt Kids, They Can Have Federal Money To Do It on Bing News

Confirmed: Betsy DeVos would send federal money to schools that explicitly discriminate against LGBT students … or any other group, as long as an individual state embraced that form of discrimination. In a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing, Rep. Katherine Clark highlighted the example of Lighthouse Christian Academy, which receives hundreds of thousands of dollars in vouchers from the state of Indiana despite refusing to enroll students from families where there is “homosexual or bisexual activity” or who are “practicing alternate gender identity.” Clark’s question: Would DeVos block federal dollars from going to schools that discriminate? And DeVos repeatedly refused to say that she would, making very clear that she places “choice” above equality or non-discrimination.  According to DeVos, “For states who have programs that allow for parents to make choices, they set up the rules around that.” In other words, as far as Betsy DeVos is concerned, states can use federal dollars to support schools that discriminate.
