One school told a mother — a firefighter married to U.S. Air Force veteran — that her children were unfit to be educated there simply because the couple was two women.
The two women served their country and community. But the school — which received $371,000 in state scholarship money last year — told the family to get an education elsewhere.

My understanding of "vouchers" is that they are intended to subsidize private (including religious) schools. I also understand that this program, initiated by the Republican Governor, is still being hotly debated in the Florida state supreme court. My assumption, based on the lack of contradictory information then, is that this is most probably a private, religiously affiliated school.
So, which is desired here-Do we want to force private religious schools to go against their prevailing theological doctrines (i.e., shred the 1st Amendment)...or deny thousands of underprivileged students (many of whom are likely minorities) the value and choice of a private school education when these schools are forced to give up tax funding?
