The Supreme Court ruled on June 21 that parents in rural districts lacking public high schools, who receive state aid, can send their children to private schools instead and can use that money for tuition at schools with faith-based curricula, the Religikon News website reports today (June 24, 2022).
In a 6-3 vote, the court held that Maine's requirement that tuition assistance payments be used at "nonsectarian"schools violated the First Amendment because parents could not send their children to the school of their choice.
The First Amendment states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
