The U.S. Supreme Court will take up a challenge to a Maine law that bars students from using public funding for tuition at religious schools.
The plaintiffs have been aiming for the nation’s highest court since they filed their lawsuit in 2019. A judge in the U.S. District Court of Maine and the panel at the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston have so far sided with the state. The Supreme Court on Friday, July 2, announced that it would add the case to its docket for its next term.
