'Education is the key to upward mobility in our society,' shared AZ Attorney General Mark Brnovich 'A state should not be able to discriminate against a school simply because it is religious.'
"A neutral benefit program in which public funds flow to religious organizations through the independent choices of private benefit recipients does not offend the Establishment Clause," Chief Justice John Roberts said in the court's written opinion.
The decision could have a wider impact than just Maine. It could ease religious organizations’ access to taxpayer money."I am proud to have joined the amicus in this case supporting school choice," he shared."Education is the key to upward mobility in our society. A state should not be able to discriminate against a school simply because it is religious."
The most immediate effect of the court’s decision beyond Maine will be next door in Vermont, which has a similar program. But Tuesday's outcome also could fuel a renewed push for school choice programs in some of the 18 states that so far have not directed taxpayer money to private, religious education.
