STATEMENT FROM SENATE LEADERSHIP:

Over the last several weeks, we have watched as business critical to MO citizens has been delayed by a small group of senators willing to send our congressional map to federal courts if they do not get districts that suit their ambition. #MOLeg

These Senators are also standing in the way of critical policies Missourians are asking for — election reform, banning Critical Race Theory, providing more choice for Missouri parents, and the list goes on. #MOLeg

Let’s see, voter suppression, misrepresentation of public school curriculum, and defunding public schools – yeah, those are not considered “moderate” public policy nor priorities by most Missouri voters.

So, which schools and/or school districts in the State of Missouri teach Critical Race Theory? We’ll wait.

State funded vouchers for private or parochial schools? Go ahead and try.

In the Missouri Constitution:

IX Section 8. Prohibition of public aid for religious purposes and institutions. — Neither the general assembly, nor any county, city, town, township, school district or other municipal corporation, shall ever make an appropriation or pay from any public fund whatever, anything in aid of any religious creed, church or sectarian purpose, or to help to support or sustain any private or public school, academy, seminary, college, university, or other institution of learning controlled by any religious creed, church or sectarian denomination whatever; nor shall any grant or donation of personal property or real estate ever be made by the state, or any county, city, town, or other municipal corporation, for any religious creed, church, or sectarian purpose whatever.
