Educational Choice

Next week, the U.S. Supreme Court returns for another term and among the cases it will hear is Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue, a case expected to set a landmark precedent when it comes to education reform. Espinoza, which is being litigated by the Institute for Justice (IJ), will decide whether states may exclude religious schools from generally available scholarship programs, or if such exclusions violate the U.S. Constitution. The Institute argued its constitutional case for including religious options in a brief it recently filed with the Court.
