• Rev. Dr. C. Welton Gaddy, president of Interfaith Reliance, a national non-partisan religious group that supports religious freedom, openly criticized Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal’s new school voucher program.
• If implemented, the program would allow over half of Louisiana’s public school students to attend private institutions, many of which have strong anti-science and anti-history religious curriculums, using state taxpayer dollars as funding.
• The program is under heavy fire from the Louisiana teachers’ union, the Louisiana School Boards Association, and other school districts that, like Gaddy, believe Jindal’s program is a “blatant attack on the religious freedom clauses in the United States Constitution.”
