They are really revealing that their god is so limited and narrow and exclusive. Who would want to be a part of that community?
1. At an announcement from the Governor of Iowa and Senator Kauth over a new trans bathroom ban, proponents of the bill held an overtly religious announcement, going as far as to say separation of church and state pisses them off.

The last 2 studies showing vouchers raised education attainment came in 2013.

I know—I wrote one of them.

The last one showing vouchers lifted student achievement was published even further back—in 2002.

I’m telling you: everything since has been an educational disaster.
Recent voucher schemes haven’t raised HS grad rates even where voucher test scores are horrible—as I explain here @brookings.edu

But even if they did, critics have long attacked public schools that have high HS grad rates and low academic results👇

You know what would be really cool? If they raised the salary for state senators in Nebraska. The more you pay the better the quality, there is evidence. One only needs to look at the chair of the education committee. Wow. #nebraska #nebraskalegislature
