Vouchers in court spark debate on school choice
Jacob Sullum argues the 6th Circuit ruling against Cleveland's voucher program shows insufficient liberty of funds for nonsectarian schools and suggests a universal education tax credit as a broader, neutral alternative. The piece cites Supreme Court precedents and notes most voucher schools are religious. It promotes a tax-credit path to mass school choice via private donations and private funding.
