On a Mission God: Inside the Movement to Redirect Billions of Taxpayer Dollars to Private Religious Schools

This discussion dives deep into the decades-long efforts of Catholic leaders and conservative politicians in Ohio to redirect public school funding toward private religious institutions, primarily Catholic schools. Using the guise of "school choice" and rhetoric about helping underprivileged children, this strategic takeover has disproportionately harmed public schools, drained their resources, and exacerbated systemic inequalities. 

The panel highlights how this scheme, orchestrated by bishops and a Catholic governor, has fueled segregation and restricted opportunities for African-American students. It also exposes how religion continues to infiltrate public policy, prioritizing indoctrination over equitable education.
