Question

what was the issue?
how did the courts rule?
what is your opinion?

Answer 1

The Ohio legislature created a pilot school voucher program. Most of the private schools students could chose were religious. This amounted to the government giving money to churches.

The court narrowly ruled that it was permissable as long as it passed a test. The test developed by the Supreme Court in this case can be called the Private Choice Test, and five parts must be passed for a voucher program to be constitutional. The five clauses are: the program must have a valid secular purpose, aid must go to parents and not schools, a broad class of beneficiaries must be covered, it must be neutral with respect to religion, and there must be adequate nonreligious options. The Court found that the program in question passed all of these tests.

I agree as long as they pass this test.
