High Court Rules State Aid to Nonpublic Schools Illegal
Massachusetts Supreme Court holds all forms of state aid to parochial schools illegal under the 1917 constitutional amendment. The advisory ruling blocks legislative efforts to fund secular services from private and parochial schools unless the constitution is amended. The decision cites clear language prohibiting public money or property for religious or denominational schools and binds the General Court until changed.
