Sen. Tillman On Opportunity Scholarships – Watch Out For Muslim Schools?
What the parents think is right for their child? Not really a factor for the Senator, apparently.
His main focus seems to be on “Muslim schools”. He stopped short of calling them “Schools of Terror” like NC Superintendent June Atkinson did.
Someone ask the Senator how many of those “Muslim schools” there are in North Carolina and whether those parents should be able to decide as to which school their kids go to learn. Here’s a hint – you can probably county them on your fingers.
