No Textbook Aid For Church Schools
Missouri Supreme Court rules that state funds may not be used to purchase or loan textbooks to private and parochial schools under the 1972 free textbook law. The ruling upholds that lending to teachers in private schools is unconstitutional while reversing on lending to pupils. The decision cites strict church state separation in the Missouri Constitution and notes private purchases may occur via public auctions.

It argues the subpoena ruling could redefine executive privilege and shape future presidential power, with wider implications if moved to the Senate. It highlights political strategy and the desire to avoid partisan vilification amid an election year.
