"The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that it is unconstitutional for Maine to provide public funds for private schools but not religious schools. It is an important victory for religious liberty and school choice. "
It is no secret that African Americans and Hispanics are the two minority groups that have been pushing the hardest for school choice. They want a way out from being confined — condemned would not be too strong a word — to the local public school. While the Maine decision may not have direct application to them, it will surely inspire school-choice activists and lawmakers to craft new school-choice initiatives that will.
The big losers are the teachers' unions, the ACLU, and Americans
United for Separation of Church and State. Their efforts to deny equal
opportunity to blacks and Latinos took a big step backwards.
