A Texas Muslim parent sued over the exclusion of Islamic schools from the 2025 voucher program, citing religious discrimination.
A Muslim parent in Texas has sued state officials over the exclusion of Islamic private schools from the 2025 voucher program, arguing the decision violates constitutional protections against religious discrimination.
Filed on March 1, 2026, by Mehdi Cherkaoui, the lawsuit challenges the blocking of Cognia-accredited schools linked to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which Texas Governor Greg Abbott has labeled a terrorist organization—though the U.S. State Department does not recognize this designation.
The comptroller, Kelly Hancock, cited concerns over foreign ties to block hundreds of schools, including those serving Muslim, Christian, and disabled students.
The suit seeks to compel the state to accept all eligible Islamic schools and halt what it calls discriminatory practices in administering the program, which has seen over 143,000 student applications and more than 2,100 school acceptances.
