Clearly our Court has made the mark with its visionary and landmark decision. According to Dr. DeFiore, the decision in the Mitchell v. Helms case will be a key factor in helping the federal government connect every U.S. classroom to the Internet. NCEA joined 19 other organizations nationwide in submitting a friend of the court brief in the case. We believe strongly in this issue.
Catholic educators understand that computer technology is an integral part of education.
This decision is justice served because it assures that these advantages will be accessible to all children and not denied to some because of the type of school they attend. NCEA is the world's largest professional association for private education. Established in 1904, the association represents some 200,000 educators serving 7.6 million students at all levels of Catholic education.
