The Institute for Justice has filed an intervention on behalf of Colorado school
board to defend their school-choice program.
The ACLU, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and
several other organizations filed suit to prevent the Douglas County School
Board from implementing the program, which would award modest scholarships to
500 students. Those groups argue that some parents would choose religious
schools for their children's education, thereby violating the state
constitution's prohibition on aid to such schools. (Defending school choice in Colorado )
Michael Bindas of The
Institute for Justice filed an intervention in Denver District Court on
behalf of four families in two cases.
(Billy's Thoughts>>> Why is the Americans United for Separation of Church and State, part of this case don't they have anything better to do. What does keeping faith out of the schools have to do with this case unless they are fighting that faith based schools do a better than the government schools do of educating children. If they don't think school choice should be allowed based on that perhaps us who are people of faith should demand our money back which goes to the government schools. Also what would they say to the poor parents who right now have to send their children to schools which are failing them. The question I have and still have shouldn't poor parents have the same choice that President Obama had in deciding what school to send his children to.)
