flag Texas seeks to block schools tied to CAIR or foreign nations from new voucher program over security concerns.

flag Texas Acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock has asked the state attorney general whether schools linked to CAIR or foreign adversaries like China can be excluded from the new school voucher program, citing concerns over foreign influence and compliance with Senate Bill 17. flag The request, filed December 12, stems from potential ties to foreign entities and CAIR’s designation as a terrorist organization by Governor Abbott, which the group is challenging. flag Hancock emphasized the need to protect public funds and state security, though she did not name specific schools. flag The attorney general’s advisory opinion will guide decisions, but is not binding. flag Over 600 schools and 200 vendors have applied, with family applications set to open February 4. flag CAIR Texas says its school events were lawful civil rights education sessions and warn exclusion based on affiliations may violate the First Amendment.
