State Comptroller Kelly Hancock has sent a letter to Attorney General Ken Paxton, asking if he can stop schools tied to the foreign terrorist organization Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) from receiving funds under the new school voucher program.
Hancock also sounded the alarm about schools connected to the Chinese Communist Party, which could theoretically receive taxpayer funds thanks to the program—widely praised as one of the largest school-choice programs in the nation.
National security expert Ed Turzanski says blocking these schools from getting taxpayer funding should be a no-brainer. “The Chinese government and organizations like CAIR have agendas which do not comport with a healthy society here in the United States,” he said.
Turzanski went on to say that more government officials across the nation need to start treating both the CCP and CAIR like the threats they are. He also warned: “Our adversaries use our openness against us. We have to take the ‘kick me’ sign off and say, ‘We aren’t going to play that game.’”
He also warned that the types of freedoms we enjoy in the United States come from our value system, which needs to be actively taught—and, as former President Ronald Reagan pointed out, is only ever one generation away from extinction.
