The teacher looked out at 30 eager black and Latino faces. Now came the tough part. What about the Bible vs. Darwin? The kids were ready. Is the use of public money at such schools more offensive than the status quo? Matthew Miller is a senior fellow at the Annenberg Public Policy Center and a contributor to The New Republic.

Extractions: Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the Supreme Court frequently considered cases involving the separation of church and state. As noted in Walz v. Tax Commission, 1970, the Court created precedents that at times appeared contradictory, but that aimed to uphold a "constitutional neutrality." As chief Justice Burger put it in his majority opinion in Walz, 1970, "[let] no religion be sponsored nor favored, none commanded, and none inhibited." Burger conceded that the evolution of the neutrality standard had not proceeded in "an absolutely straight line." Fearing too powerful a precedent, the Court avoided "rigidity" and tried instead to formulate "general principles on a case-by-base basis." With the case of Lemon v. Kurtzman, the Court would attempt to codify the principles on which these matters would be judged in the future.
Extractions: Senior Education Fellow, US Freedom Foundation In 1996 President Bill Clinton signed a welfare reform bill including a "charitable choice" provision whereby the nation's religious organizations can receive public funds to conduct programs, sometimes called "faith-based initiatives" such as counseling, job training and day-care. President George W. Bush, then Governor of Texas, was the first to take advantage of this law when, in September of 1997, he signed four bills permitting state agencies to fund programs such as drug treatment and prison rehabilitation conducted by faith-based groups. As President he supports federal action in this area.

Extractions: FLASH LINE HOME VISITORS WHAT'S NEW ... WELCOME FLASHLINE Will taxpayers end up footing the bill for religious schools? Voucher schemes in several state threaten to divert public money from education budgets into the coffers of sectarian groups. Under the ruse of "scholarships" and "parental choice," the integrity of public education is being eroded. Web Posted: March 11,1999 n Pennsylvania, Texas, Florida and elsewhere, a new effort is underway to enact state level voucher legislation which critics say will end up putting religious schools on the public assistance roles. The scheme involves the use of tuition vouchers, rebates or tax credits which permit parents to choose whether to keep their children in public schools, or use the money for private and religious institutions. The vouchers are sometimes described with euphemisms such as "opportunity scholarships." The road to enact voucher legislation on capitol hill has been a rough one; what appears to have fueled the current wave of state voucher proposals has been frustration with Washington, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court's decision last year to uphold a Milwaukee voucher program. In JACKSON v. BENSON, Wisconsin's highest court ruled that public funding of sectarian education did not violate the state's prohibition against support of religious institutions. Instead, justices attempted to argue that the voucher program was what the Freedom Forum described as "a neutral educational assistance program that did not amount to government advancement of religious education."

Gordner, R-27, will receive the 2005 EconomicsPennsylvania Adam Smith Award for Distinguished Leadership at a luncheon to be held in his honor October 6 at Tedds on the Hill. Announcement of the selection of Senator Gordner was made by Kim A. Scopelliti, Chair of the EconomicsPennsylvania Endowment Committee, and a member of the luncheon planning committee. In making the announcement, Ms. Scopelliti said: Senator Gordner, as a member of the EconomicsPennsylvania Susquehanna Valley Regional Board, along with his outstanding record of public service, underscores the reasons we wanted to recognize and honor him for his dedication to serving others, and in particular, the young people of his District. His many years of volunteerism and direct involvement in community activities is a terrific example of what the Adam Smith Leadership Award represents and certainly serves as an example for others to emulate. John is one of the most enthusiastic supporters of EconomicsPennsylvania and has been a leader in helping us expand our educational programs and initiatives for teachers and students throughout the greater Susquehanna Valley region. Its a great privilege to be able to publicly acknowledge him for his good works, sensitive service and commitment to personal standards of integrity, professionalism and excellence.

Extractions: Volume 11, Issue 5. January 17, 2000. Parochial Schools and the Court Wendy Kaminer Although it is frequently attacked as an elitist institution with no regard for the public will, the Supreme Court is hardly immune to cultural and political trends. Justices are, after all, appointed by presidents with particular ideological agendas, shaped partly by polls. Once they ascend to the bench, a few appointees may surprise and disappoint their political patrons, but many do not. So, at least indirectly, the political preferences of voters wield considerable influence on the Court. It was no coincidence that the Supreme Court toyed with invalidating capital punishment in the early 1970s, when public support for it was relatively low; it's not surprising that as support for the death penalty has increased (along with the conservative hold on government), the Court has committed itself to expediting executions. It's worth noting that Roe v. Wade , the 1973 decision invalidating abortion prohibitions, which anti-abortion activists consider the epitome of judicial arrogance, actually coincided with growing public support for abortion rights. The current wave of religious revivalism is likely to exert similar influence on the Court. In fact, a slim majority of the justices have already demonstrated their sympathy for state-funded religious activities. In the 1995 case of

Opinion Editorial: Voucher victory / The court unwisely upholds an Ohio plan Sunday, June 30, 2002 In upholding an Ohio law that uses state funds to allow parents in Cleveland to pay for tuition at parochial schools, the U.S. Supreme Court last week gave its blessing to a program that, in effect if not in intent, provides a significant subsidy to Catholic education. For that reason, in our view, the 5-4 decision tilts too much in the direction of the "establishment of religion" prohibited by the First Amendment. That is true even though Catholic and other religious schools undeniably provide a service to the larger society by ably educating their pupils in secular subjects. Granted, the "wall of separation" between church and state in the educational area has always been a porous one the high court has allowed state governments to provide parochial-school students with secular textbooks, transportation and even tuition tax credits.
