Maine Discriminatory Voucher Case

From the Religion Clause blog:

Cert. Filed In Maine School Voucher Case

A petition for certiorari has been filed in the U.S. Supreme Court seeking review of the Maine Supreme Court's decision in Anderson v. Town of Durham, according to today's New York Sun. The decision upheld a state school voucher program for students from small towns with no high schools. Towns may pay for those students to attend a non-sectarian public or a private school, but they may not pay for attendance at religious parochial schools. (See prior posting.)



And here is more from How Appealing:

The Institute for Justice yesterday issued a press release entitled "Parents Ask U.S. Supreme Court To End Religious Discrimination & Vindicate Full School Choice." A copy of the petition for certiorari filed yesterday can be viewed at this link, while the Main Supreme Judicial Court's ruling is available here.Posted at 08:58 AM by Howard Bashman
