Voucher case tests separation of church and state
Washington AP reports the Cleveland school voucher program tests whether public funds may pay religious school tuition. Roberta Kitchen, mother of an 11 year old in a Lutheran school, frames the dispute as education for her daughter while courts weigh if tax money can support religious education. The Supreme Court is to hear three cases arising from the Cleveland experiment with broad support and opposition from religious groups, educators, and civil liberties advocates.
