Senator Scott Meyer, (R - Grand Forks)
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (KFGO/KNOX) – A Grand Forks Republican lawmaker is vowing to push for a voucher program that would allow public money to pay for private school tuition.
Grand Forks state Sen. Scott Meyer said he would begin working on a school voucher bill draft next week. This comes after the Fargo school board’s Wednesday vote to stop reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at its meetings.
In its 7-2 decision, the board said reciting the pledge doesn’t align with the district’s diversity code, largely because it includes the words “under God.”
The state Republican Party called the board’s action “laughable” and an “affront to our American values.”
