Vermont can’t discriminate against religious schools

“Despite these rulings, however, Vermont officials indicated they would continue digging in their heels and discriminating against religious students, parents, and schools. That led ADF to file a second case, E.H. v. French. While both cases were still in litigation, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on a similar case, Carson v. Makin. The Court ruled that the state of Maine cannot exclude students who attend religious schools from a government program in which they are otherwise qualified. Following the ruling, Vermont officials agreed to settle in both French cases. The settlement ensured families who choose to send their children to religious schools can participate in the Town Tuition Program.” – Alliance Defending Freedom, December 12, 2022
