Gov. Cooper and others call for more accountability for NC's school voucher program after Baptist preacher in Union County preaches that women who wear shorts instead of dresses or pants are to blame if they're raped: “If you dress like that and you get raped, and I’m on the jury, he’s going to go free," Leonard said from the pulpit. "You don’t like that, do you? I’m right, though. Because a man’s a man.” The backlash led him to apologize a few days later, but what concerns Cooper is that his church sponsors a private religious school - Tabernacle Christian School - that is largely funded by NC taxpayers via vouchers. The average student there gets $6,000 in vouchers, and over the past two years the school has gotten nearly $1.5 million in NC taxpayer money via vouchers. Lovely.
