Publisher: USA Today (Magazine), 2003ISSN: 1522-3256;.Subject(s): Competition | Consumers' preferences | Education and state | Educational change | Educational vouchers | Private schools | Public schools | School choice | Tax creditsDDC classification: 050 Summary: "In upholding the constitutionality of the Cleveland voucher program in Zelman v. Simmons-Harris in June, 2002, the Supreme Court affirmed that it hardly constitutes a government establishment of religion if religious schools are among the choices parents can freely make. By implication, government schools don't have an automatic claim on a child's education superior to the choice of his or her parents. The constitutionality of a particular, and very successful, voucher program clears away a major roadblock to expanding freedom of choice in education. It is rekindling the debate about breaking up the government monopoly in schooling and giving parents and children new options." (USA TODAY MAGAZINE) The authors discuss school choice options and assert that "full educational choice implies the freedom of parents to pick the best and safest schools--public or private."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
