A lawsuit filed by the ACLU against school choice in Arizona was dismissed Monday by the U.S. Supreme Court in a 5-4 ruling that advocates claim is a significant victory for supporters of freedom of education and religious liberty. The decision in Arizona Christian School Tuition Org. v. Winn rejected an effort to end Arizona residents’ ability to claim a state tax credit on their contributions to a private school tuition organization, even though the state’s constitution bars direct government spending on religious institutions.
The private schools receiving the donations are both religious and secular institutions.
