Ohio allocates public funds to Christian schools, raising concerns over separation of church and state.

Ohio has introduced a new program allocating public funds to Christian schools, sparking constitutional concerns. The state is using part of its budget surplus for grants to expand and renovate religious schools, with most benefiting projects linked to the Center for Christian Virtue, a conservative advocacy group. Critics argue this violates the separation of church and state, while supporters say it addresses capacity issues in voucher programs. The One-Time Strategic Community Investment Fund has granted $4.9 million to these projects, facing opposition from groups like Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
