Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and 11 Senate colleagues submitted an amicus brief to the Supreme Court on Friday, encouraging the Court to protect religious educational institutions from discrimination in the form of disqualification from a state tuition assistance program.
In Carson v. Makin, the Court is considering whether Maine violated religious liberty rights by restricting the availability of student-aid programs for religious schools otherwise generally available to private, non-religious schools. Protect The 1st made a similar argument in our brief on this case. “Students should not be punished for attending a school where faith is taught, and states should not be able to discriminate against citizens who choose to live and learn their faith in school,” Sen. Lee said. Comments are closed.
