Recently, the Idaho State Supreme Court ruled in favor of the new Idaho Parental Choice Tax Credit, paving the way for the 9,000 Idaho students who have already applied for this credit. A recent blog post from Cato Institute policy analyst Colleen Hroncich details how this ruling could bolster educational freedom in other states:

“Educational freedom has made tremendous advances in recent years. More than 30 states have programs that either provide tax credits for educational expenses or allow parents to direct state education funding to the educational environment that they think is best for their kids. But, as these cases show, the ‘education establishment’ continues to use the courts in an attempt to kill choice programs. Hopefully, the Idaho ruling helps bolster supporters in other states.”
