SUPREME COURT DECISION ADVANCES EDUCATIONAL FREEDOM While the union bosses and like-minded souls despise any public money going to a parent who wants to send their child to a private school, they all praise Pell Grants. These federal dollars go to needy college students, and can be used to attend private colleges, including religious schools like Notre Dame and Brigham Young. I have never received a response to the question I constantly pose: “Giving parents choices on the k-12 level – vouchers, ESA’s, etc., especially if used at a religious school – is your worst nightmare. Why is the private option perfectly okay for college students, but not for elementary and high schoolers?”

SCOTUS declares that if a state subsidizes private education, it cannot disqualify religious schools.

Last week, the Supreme Court delivered three decisions that have the left in a snit of epic proportions. On Friday, the Court decided there is no Constitutional right to an abortion, and threw Roe v. Wade into the trashcan. The prior day, the justices made clear that the Second Amendment protects the right to carry a handgun outside the home for self-defense. And on Tuesday, in Carson v. Makin, the Supremes asserted that if a state subsidizes private education, it cannot disqualify religious schools.
