In a 6-3 ruling on Tuesday addressing Maine’s voucher programs, the Supreme Court agreed with supporters of school choice.
The mainstream media and liberal activist groups have not reacted favorably to the Supreme Court decision, as is to be expected with any triumph for individual freedom, especially when it comes to parents’ right to choose where their children receive an education.
The alleged separation of church and state, which is dubiously referenced to contend that allowing parents to select where their children attend school signifies that religion is being pushed by the government, is the focus of the majority of the irrational howling.
But as the Court’s decision made clear, that is simply not the case. However, when in full-on breakdown mode, liberals never let the truth stand in their way.
First up, Jeffrey Toobin, who CNN claims to have found to be the most intelligent legal thinker.
Where #SCOTUS is heading: all parents get vouchers and they can send their kids to public or parochial schools. "Separation of church and state" is a vanishing concept at the Supreme Court.

Then there is the ACLU, an organization so devoted to civil freedoms that they seek to limit parents’ choice to choose where their children attend school and prevent them from selecting a facility that supports their religious values.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court issued a ruling requiring Maine to fund religious education at private high schools as part of its tuition assistance program.

This is the first time the Court has explicitly required taxpayers to support religious instruction at private schools.
Nobody has the right to discriminate against parents who wish to send their children to a school of their choosing, even if a group demands that taxpayers pay for abortions on demand at any time up to delivery.
Then there is Elie Mystal of The Nation, who has come to the conclusion that the organization that approved same-sex marriage is nothing more than a theocracy.
And National Public Radio — which is sponsored by your tax dollars — likewise embraced the radical anti-choice propaganda to present as gloomy an image as possible.
NPR never fails to take the most hostile framing. The actual case says Maine's tuition assistance program can't discriminate against parents who want to send their kids to sectarian schools. https://t.co/B12P5pjhZV

American Atheists, on the other hand, dubbed the viewpoint that grants all Mainers equal access to school voucher programs regardless of religious belief to be radical and stated it would compel taxpayers to subsidize exclusive Christian schools.
