Legislation has been temporarily halted in Pennsylvania with a vote against a school voucher bill this past December, but the issue is ongoing in states around the nation. Pennsylvania is currently second in the nation after Florida in public dollars spent and numbers of students in  another type of "school choice" program funded through corporate tax credit programs.  Many of these publicly-funded Pennsylvania and Florida students are attending private religious schools using A Beka and Bob Jones University textbook series that include: attacks on Roman Catholicism and non-Christian religions; revisionist history; promotion of young earth creationism; and rejection and mocking of evolution and global warming.
