In supporting school choice, the Acton Institute seeks social justice.
Children ought to receive a quality education no matter where they live.
The new government monopoly dictates which school children must attend based on their neighborhood. Furthermore, God has bestowed upon families, not government, the responsibility for educating children. It is always relevant, then, to revisit Judeo-Christian teachings on choice in education. Last week a small victory was won toward freedom in educational choice. While this decision does not alone clear the way for school choice, it is reassuring that the Court's ruling could indicate a trend.
