What Is the Verdict on School Vouchers?
McCarthy, Martha M.
Phi Delta Kappan, v81 n5 p371-78 Jan 2000
The central federal question surrounding vouchers is whether participation of sectarian schools violates the First Amendment's Establishment clause. The U.S. Supreme Court, through its interpretation of the federal Constitution, may have the final word in determining voucher proposals' future. Litigation in Cleveland, Milwaukee, Vermont, and Maine is summarized. (Contains 51 references.) (MLH)
