OMG. Hatch amdt that gives parents who send their kids to religious private schools a special tax break is included in final amdt package! This is nuts. Totally nuts.

1/3: Hatch amdt would allow parents who already send their child to a private religious school to deduct 25% of the cost of their tuition from their federal tax bill as long as the school guaranteed that they spent at least 30% of the school day on qualified religious instruction

What the fuck is government doing validating there is a minimum level of religious instruction? https://t.co/UOmnfMSsqQ

2/3: While parents are free to educate their child in any school environment, taxpayers cannot be expected to privilege one educational setting over another particularly when tax incentives are directed to religious private schools.

3/3: Because this legislation promotes the privatization of education funding and the diversion of resources to private schools, we oppose this legislation. The overwhelming majority of families that send their children to private school would be eligible for this tax deduction.
