得克萨斯州试图阻止与CAIR挂钩的学校或外国学校因安全考虑而实施新的凭证方案。 Texas seeks to block schools tied to CAIR or foreign nations from new voucher program over security concerns.

德克萨斯州代理主计长Kelly Hancock询问州总检察长,与CAIR有联系的学校或中国这样的外国对手是否可以被排除在新的学校凭单方案之外,理由是对外国影响和遵守参议院第17号法案的关切。 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. 这项请求是12月12日提出的,其起因是可能与外国实体有联系,而且Abbott总督指定CAIR为恐怖组织,而Abbott总督对此提出了挑战。 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. Hancock强调有必要保护公共资金和国家安全,尽管她没有指明具体学校的名称。 Hancock emphasized the need to protect public funds and state security, though she did not name specific schools. 总检察长的咨询意见将为决定提供指导,但不具约束力。 The attorney general’s advisory opinion will guide decisions, but is not binding. 600多所学校和200多家供应商已经提出申请,家庭申请定于2月4日开放。 Over 600 schools and 200 vendors have applied, with family applications set to open February 4. CAIR得克萨斯州分会说,其学校活动是合法的民权教育课程,并警告基于从属关系的排斥行为可能违反第一修正案。 CAIR Texas says its school events were lawful civil rights education sessions and warn exclusion based on affiliations may violate the First Amendment.
