ruled Tuesday that religious schools can’t be excluded from a Maine program that offers tuition aid for private education, a decision that could ease religious organizations’ access to taxpayer money.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for a conservative majority that the program violates the Constitution's protections for religious freedoms. In largely rural Maine, the state allows families who live in towns that don’t have public schools to receive public tuition dollars to send their children to the public or private school of their choosing. The program has excluded religious schools.
Most of the justices attended religious schools, and several send or have sent their children to them.
