Step Up for Students posts this list on their website. Take a look at the links below. They represent years of corporations supporting discrimination by diverting their taxes to fund vouchers instead of direct investment in the needs of the state. Thanks to repeated investigations by the Orlando Sentinel, no one can claim they don’t know that the private, mostly religious schools are free to discriminate against anyone for any reason now.
Here’s the series of investigative articles from the Orlando Sentinel exposing the discrimination tolerated in voucher schools:
