ACRU - ACLU Watch - The Aid To Parochial Schools Case The Aid to parochial schools Case. In Mitchell v. It was brought in aLouisiana Parish, where 30% of such aid went to private schools that were also http://www.civilrightsunion.org/acluwatch/aid.htm
Extractions: The "Aid to Parochial Schools" Case In Mitchell v. Helms, (98-1648), decided June 28, 2000, the Supreme Court decided that aid in the form of text books, materials and equipment to private as well as public schools under a federal law, did not violate the First Amendment's Establishment Clause. The case has a curious history. It was brought in a Louisiana Parish, where 30% of such aid went to private schools that were also Catholic. (Aid was provided on the basis of student enrollment.) One District Judge struck the statute down. He retired, and the subsequent Judge upheld the statute. Then, the Court of Appeals reversed the judgment based on its reading of intervening Supreme Court decisions. Then the Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals, upholding the statute. The position of the ACLU was against the statute that provided this aid. The judgment of the Court was written by Justice Thomas, joined by the Chief Justice, and Justices Scalia and Kennedy. It noted first that the aid to schools should be equal for all students, regardless of their school, that any participating private schools had to be non-profit, and that the materials or equipment provided under Chapter 2 of the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act of 1981 was required to be "secular, neutral, and nonideological." The judgment noted the problems of analysis presented in this case to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, both by the seemingly conflicting decisions of the Supreme Court itself, and conflicting opinions in other Circuits (which are, of course, advisory rather than binding to other Circuit Courts). It said, "The Fifth Circuit thus faced a dilemma between, on the one hand, the Ninth Circuits holding and analysis in Walker and our subsequent decisions in Rosenberger and Agostini, and, on the other hand, our holdings in Meek and Wolman. To resolve the dilemma, the Fifth Circuit abandoned any effort to find coherence in our case law or to divine the future course of our decisions and instead focused on our particular holdings."

Extractions: VVA member Leslie DeLong, who headed the Teacher's Award Committee, said the award had been discussed at state council meetings several years ago, but that no action had been taken. DeLong, noting she had a personal interest in the project going forward, brought the matter up at a state council meeting in June 2002 and agreed to organize the program. "I'm not really sure why I decided to do something,'' she said. "For years, I watched quietly as people forgot where we came from as a country. I know I taught my son to have respect for the flag and veterans and the country itself. Not that it meant he had to agree with everyone and everything. But to respect it all.''

Extractions: Educational leaders in Louisiana are taking an approach to reform that focuses on the entire educational system to ensure that change takes place in an integrated way, rather than progressing in a piecemeal fashion. They are looking to the national reform movement for guidance and support in improving the quality of education for all students in the state. Teaching in Louisiana is expected to improve as teachers are given more resources, responsibilities, and opportunities to learn new skills. Students should have improved educational experiences as problems throughout the system are addressed. Let's look at how the story of education in Louisiana unfolds. Economic Realities Lead to Support for Educational Reform Economic realities have helped mobilize the general public to support educational reform in Louisiana. The oil and gas industry plays a pivotal role in the state. Louisiana is the third largest U.S. producer of oil and natural gas and is a center of petroleum refining and petrochemical manufacturing. During the oil boom of the 1970s and early 1980s, oil and gas accounted for 30 to 41 percent of the state's revenue, adding $1.6 billion to state coffers in 1981-82. Times were good; there was little incentive for the state to diversify its industrial base. However, what was good for the state economy was not necessarily good for public education.

Denver Catholic Register - World/Nation Supreme Court upholds aid to parochial schools. By Jerry Filteau The Louisianacase first arose in 1984 when a group of parents from Jefferson Parish http://www.archden.org/dcr/archive/20000705/2000070513wn.htm
Extractions: Archbishop's web site Denver Catholic Register Parishes Catholic Pastoral Center July 5, 2000 By Jerry Filteau WASHINGTON (CNS) - In what was quickly hailed as a landmark ruling for school choice, the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld use of federal funds to help supply computer hardware and software and library and media materials to religiously affiliated schools. By a 6-3 decision June 28 the court reversed the judgment of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which had said it was unconstitutional to include religious schools among the private schools receiving such aid in Jefferson Parish, La. The case is titled Mitchell vs. Helms. Four of the six-justice majority proposed what in effect would be a new, simpler neutrality test for the constitutionality of public aid to private schools. Two justices agreed that the Louisiana aid was constitutional but sharply opposed the other four's view of how the court should test such cases. The three dissenters also opposed revising the neutrality test. Archbishop Francis B. Schulte of New Orleans said he was "elated" by the Supreme Court's ruling.

Ducote To Lead School Lobbying Effort Ducote to lead school lobbying effort. This is louisiana, after all. I vealways considered the legislative session to be like a summer camp, http://clarionherald.org/20030326/art002.htm
Extractions: Kirby Ducote (Photo by Frank J. Methe) At 72, Kirby Ducote has earned a rare level of respect over the 35 years he has spent reading the inscrutable minds, body language and tea leaves of Louisiana legislators as one of the Catholic Church's foremost political lobbyists. Certainly, there have been the confounding moments, such as the afternoon one legislator promised Ducote he would vote for a bill backed by the church only to be the first voice, just a few minutes later, shouting it down at the microphone. In such cases of political treachery, Ducote, affectionately known as "The Pope" by lawmakers, remains philosophical because he has seen it all. This is Louisiana, after all. "I've always considered the legislative session to be like a summer camp, because in many ways it's a game," Ducote said on the eve of the March 31 Louisiana legislative session, where he will serve as a public policy advocate for the Archdiocese of New Orleans. "I've always told legislators, 'I'll win some, I'll lose some, but you'll be on my schedule for next year.' It's never personal." Ducote's persuasiveness has a serious, far-reaching impact on all who live in Louisiana, and the proposal he will help promote with lawmakers in the upcoming session - parental choice in education - could be the most important of his political career.

The bishop or his representative has met with, or offered to meet with all victims/survivors who have reported allegations of abuse since the last compliance audit. The bishop or his delegate has not directed outreach to all faith communities in which the sexual abuse occurred, as the abuse was long in the past and the priests are deceased. The diocese has a mechanism in place to respond promptly to any allegation where there is reason to believe that sexual abuse of a minor occurred. The diocese has a victim assistance coordinator, Mary A. Girard, who is a licensed family therapist and professional counselor, with 14 years work experience. In 2003 the diocese established a Review Board which consists of eight members. The members include one psychologist, one social worker, two attorneys, one LPN, one district court Judge, one priest and one municipal worker in the EEO area. The Board serves as a confidential consultative body to the bishop.

For further information or to subscribe to the Christian Research Journal go to: http://www.equip.org With all the debate about vouchers and school choice, an examination of public schools demonstrates that the people who manage the system generally are the only ones with any real freedom to choose, and theyd like to keep it that way. Social engineers posing as educators make all the decisions about curriculum. They choose to teach students as young as five years old everything from the positive facts of homosexuality to the truth of evolution. Parents, on the other hand, who harbor the quaint notion that school is for math and English, become the object of ridicule or are ignored when they protest. Those who dont have the resources to send their children to a private school or to educate them at home are stuck with the school in their district. Thats why the idea of school vouchers is taking hold. Parents like the idea that their school board would grant them a certain amount of money, and let them send their children and that money to the school of their choice, private or public.

Extractions: U.S. Supreme Court Decisions On Religious School Issues A series of US Supreme Court cases have impacted the way in which the federal government and states may provides services and benefits to parents and students in private and religious schools. 2004- Locke v. Davey This case concerns a college student who met the eligibility criteria for a Washington state scholarship, but was denied it because he declared a major in religious studies, and that was considered a violation of the state constitution's prohibition on financing religious instruction. Davey sued, claiming the constitutional provision a violation of his right to the free exercise of region guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. He was denied and appealed to the Supreme Court that heard arguments in December 2003. The Court issued a very narrow opinion, citing historical precedents in the state constitution that preclude state financing of clergymen's salaries, and other support for the ministry that could be construed as an establishment of religion.
