Funding Fosters Choice, Not Separation
Recent Supreme Court rulings have clarified that school choice programs do not violate the establishment clause of the Constitution. This aligns with existing practices where government funding helps individuals rather than directly endorsing religious institutions. Programs like Pell Grants and Medicaid vouchers demonstrate that public funds can support religiously affiliated services without constituting a state endorsement of religion. The decisions emphasize that such funding primarily benefits families and students, allowing them to choose between religious and non-religious options without infringing on the separation of church and state.
