US Supreme Court to hear legal fight over aid to religious schools
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court Friday agreed to decide whether Montana can block religiously affiliated schools from a state scholarship program intended to help needy families.
Shortly after the program was launched, a state agency imposed a restriction that barred giving any scholarship money to religious schools, invoking a provision of the Montana constitution that prohibits"any direct or indirect appropriation or payment ... to aid any church, school ... controlled in whole or in party by any church."
Lawyers for the women urged the Supreme Court to take the case, arguing that the justices have never squarely ruled on whether the government can block religiously affiliated options from generally available student aid programs.
