A Symbolic Union? Public Instruction in the Private School. "Agostini v. Felton."
DeMitchell, Todd A.
International Journal of Educational Reform, v6 n4 p482-89 Oct 1997
In 1978, six federal taxpayers successfully sued the New York City Board of Education, claiming the board's Title I program (allowing public instruction of private-school students) violated the Establishment Clause. In 1995, the NYC Board of Education and parochial-school parents sued for relief from the permanent injunction (and adverse instructional costs) in "Agostini vs. Felton." The U.S. Supreme Court declared the program constitutional. (26 references) (MLH)
