Supreme Court rules against state aid to parochial schools
The Supreme Court barred tuition tax credits and subsidies for church school attendance and nonteaching costs, ruling such aid breaches the Establishment Clause. Justices split on related cases from New York and Pennsylvania, with dissents by White and Rehnquist in the parental aid vote and Powell writing the majority. The term also struck down Mississippi free textbooks for private academies and upheld the Hatch Act while ruling on aliens and other state actions.
