CHICAGO (June 27, 2002)

Today's decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold parent's right to choose how they will use public funds to educate their children, signals a new era for all private schools.
We're pleased with the court's ruling, for it confirms that when public funds are made available equally to all, that faith-based schools are treated equitably.

This decision affirms that the U.S. Supreme Court believes in giving parents a choice in educating their children. This will empower parents and will strengthen both government and non-government schools.

The common good of all citizens will be served by this decision. This is definitely a victory for children.
