The case is a major test for the balance between dueling constitutional principles: protection for religious freedom and a prohibition against government support of religion.

this week as three mothers from Montana ask the justices to uphold a scholarship program that would help fund Christian education for their children.

But the Montana Department of Revenue imposed an administrative rule prohibiting use of the tax-credit supported scholarships for religiously-affiliated education, citing the state’s constitution, which explicitly bans use of public funds – directly or indirectly. The parents then sued. The plaintiffs argue that Montana’s constitution is “bigoted” towards religion and violates the First Amendment’s religious free exercise clause.
