Montana has become a theocracy. Government leaders using their faith to render legislation according to their values. Examples of a theocracy include Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Israel and more. The US was founded on freedom of/from religion.

Take notice,
#mtleg
. In every conversation about “school choice” I encourage you to simply ask “will the school admit developmentally delayed or disabled students and provide them with an equal education from K-12?” Montana has had great schools. Don’t defund them.
When they talk about “school choice” they aren’t talking about rural kids. There is no choice in rural America. There is also no choice for disabled kids or those suffering from social/emotional issues. School choice means the schools choose which kids are admitted. It’s a scam.
