SCOTUS overturns Maine law barring religious schools from tuition aid

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : In 2020, the high court ruled 5-4 that states must give religious schools the same access to public funding that other private schools receive, preserving a Montana scholarship program that had largely benefited students at religious institutions.
46% : The Supreme Court overturned a Maine law Tuesday that blocks religious schools from receiving state tuition assistance allocated for private institutions, claiming it "penalizes the free exercise" of religion in the state.
34% : In his majority opinion, Roberts blasted Breyer's argument, claiming there was "nothing neutral about Maine's program."'The State pays tuition for certain students at private schools - so long as the schools are not religious.
