得克萨斯州可能阻止与据称有外国联系的私立学校参加新的代金券方案。 Texas may block private schools with alleged foreign ties from new voucher program.

得克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿建议,州审计长可以将违反外国恐怖主义关系法或限制外国所有权的私立学校排除在新的凭单方案之外。 Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has advised that the state comptroller can exclude private schools from the new voucher program if they violate laws on foreign terrorist ties or restricted foreign ownership. 代理主计长Kelly Hancock的调查引发的不具约束力的意见允许主计长评估学校资格,包括那些据称与美国-伊斯兰关系理事会(CAIR)或外国政府有关系的学校。 The non-binding opinion, prompted by Acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock’s inquiry, allows the comptroller to assess school eligibility, including those with alleged ties to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) or foreign governments. CAIR对指控提出异议,称这一举动是宗教歧视,违反了第一修正案。 CAIR disputes the allegations, calling the move religious discrimination and a First Amendment violation. 该方案定于2026年2月4日接受申请,旨在扩大学校选择,但方案的实施引发了关于监督、筹资和宪法权利的辩论。 The program, set to accept applications on February 4, 2026, aims to expand school choice, but its implementation has sparked debate over oversight, funding, and constitutional rights.
