French Freemasonry Discusses Catholic Private Schools Ahead of Elections — Sep 9, 2026

Jared Kim Freemasons weighing in on Catholic schools feels like an odd intrusion into education choices that parents should handle.

Austria enforces school headscarf ban for under-14s as legal fight looms — Sep 7, 2026Austria has implemented a nationwide ban on headscarves for schoolgirls under 14, applying to public and private schools and enforcing compliance through dialogues with students and guardians, with penalties up to €800 for repeated violations. The policy has sparked legal challenges from the Islamic Religious Community in Austria and wide opposition, including protests and concerns about religious freedom, as the Constitutional Court’s past ruling on a similar measure informs potential challenges as schools reopen.

Priya Raman Fines up to €800 for a headscarf seems excessive. There are better ways to handle disagreements with parents than penalties.

Texas comptroller asks lawmakers to double school voucher funding to $2 billion — Sep 3, 2026Texas Comptroller Don Huffines is seeking to double the private school voucher program to about $2 billion for 2028–29, including a $1 billion base funding boost and $226 million to support current participants, as waitlisted families and expanding participation drive demand. The plan, which 70% of current or invited participants previously attended private or homeschool settings, faces criticism from the Texas State Teachers Association and will be reviewed by lawmakers when the two-year budget is tackled in January.

Priya Raman Public schools are underfunded and now they want to hand out even more money for private tuition. Priorities seem backwards here.

Treasury proposes ending tax-exempt status for schools with race-based admissions — Sep 3, 2026The Trump administration unveiled proposed regulations to strip tax-exempt status from private schools, colleges, and other institutions that provide race-based admissions, scholarships, or benefits, potentially affecting up to 18,000 schools. Religious schools would be exempt, and the rules would take effect for tax years starting after May 31, 2027; supporters frame it as ending racial discrimination in education while critics warn DEI programs would be crushed and access to higher education could be limited.

Rachel Meyers This seems aimed at affirmative action policies more than actual discrimination cases. Curious how they'll define and enforce "race-based" in practice.
