Florida's Attorney General has slammed a policy which allows cash vouchers to be handed over to Islamic schools which 'promote sharia law.'
Attorney General James Uthmeier decried the use of taxpayer-funded vouchers at Islamic-only schools across the state.
'Sharia law seeks to destroy and supplant the pillars of our republican form of government and is incompatible with the Western tradition,' he wrote on X.

'The use of taxpayer-funded school vouchers to promote sharia law likely contravenes Florida law and undermines our national security.'
The policy was expanded in 2023 and has been largely defended by Republicans, who have supported the cash flowing to primarily private, Christian campuses.
