Justice White,
concurring.
I remain convinced that the Court’s decisions finding constitutional violations where a State provides aid to private schools or their students misconstrue the Establishment Clause and disserve the public interest. Even under the cases in which I was in dissent, however, I agree with the Court that the Washington Supreme Court erred in this case. Hence, I join the Court’s opinion and judgment. At the same time, I agree with most of Justice Powell’s concurring opinion with respect to the relevance of Mueller v. Allen, 463 U.S. 388 (1983), to this case.
