Sasha Volokh on the Implications of the Louisiana Supreme Court Voucher Ruling
June 5, 2013, 5:07pmSasha Volokh has a new article on Reason.org discussing the implications of the recent Louisiana Supreme Court ruling on school vouchers, where he notes that despite solid legal footing at the federal level, voucher programs can face legal barriers based on state constitutional language.
Implications of the Louisiana Supreme Court Voucher Ruling
A Primer on Recent Developments in State and Federal School Voucher Litigation
June 4, 2013In May, the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled 6–1, in Louisiana Federation of Teachers v. Louisiana, that a statewide school voucher plan was unconstitutional. The opinion offers a fascinating glimpse into the developing field of non-religious state challenges to school voucher programs. The moral is that, while vouchers are on solid legal ground at the federal level, they can face barriers based on language in state constitutions, sometimes because of the inclusion of religious schools but sometimes for reasons entirely unrelated to religion.
