OPINION: These monumental school choice cases in Vermont are a victory for parents everywhere
Kristen Wrobel says that remote learning was a ‘nightmare’ for her two children and quickly became an advocate for homeschooling children during the pandemicTwo monumental legal settlements in Vermont have put an end to more than two decades of discrimination against families in the state who have enrolled their children in religious schools.
Consequently, these students and their families had to choose between attending a different school or paying tuition out of pocket – until now.This settlement comes in the wake of the Carson v. Makin U.S. Supreme Court decision, which called into question a program in Maine that was similar to Vermont’s Town Tuition Program. The court ruled that Maine’s law requiring tuition assistance be used toward a"nonsectarian school" violated the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment.
The Secretary of Education added that"requests for tuition payments for resident students" to religious schools"must be treated the same as requests for tuition payments" to secular schools.As Alliance Defending Freedom Legal Counsel Paul Schmitt said in a statement announcing the settlements,"All parents should be able to send their kids to schools that are the best fit for them, and the First Amendment protects parents’ right to choose religious schools.
