Fight Over Sectarian Bills Opens State House Hearing
Prominent figures from many denominations fill a large State House hearing room at the opening session of this year’s battle over proposed constitutional amendments to bar public funds from privately controlled institutions. Advocates dominated the committee’s time as the debate began, with supporters calling for State control over funding and opponents warning of threats to education and religious liberty. The discussion references MIT and Worcester Polytechnic scholarships and a push for a statewide university free of religious influence.
