Extractions: Special to free! Printer-friendly page The case of Mitchell v. Helms, which the Supreme Court agreed yesterday to review next fall, has an Internet flair to it. But in most respects, it resembles many of the battles over "parochaid" that the Supreme Court has struggled with over the last several decades. It tests whether a longstanding federal program that allows local public school districts to loan classroom equipment, including computers, to parochial and other private schools, violates the First Amendment's prohibition against government establishment of religion. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the program, asserting that because of the establishment clause, "what the government is attempting to accomplish it may not do." In 1968, in Board of Education v. Allen, the court had upheld a program that lent textbooks to parochial schools. But in two subsequent rulings, which were invoked by the 5th Circuit in its ruling, the high court struck down programs that lent other kinds of instructional materials to parochial schools, drawing a line that was difficult to define. Those precedents and others have produced what the 5th Circuit panel described as a "vast, perplexing desert of establishment clause jurisprudence" that the Supreme Court will, if it can, clean up.

Finn Jr., Charles R. Hokanson Jr. and Christopher Connell Before the end of June, the Supreme Court will decide a widely anticipated First Amendment case, Mitchell vs. Helms, which will clarify the limits on public aid to parochial schools. This topic has triggered epic battles in courtrooms and legislative chambers for some 75 years, and, with such hot issues as the constitutionality of school vouchers still in the air, these fights show no sign of easing. The case also has implications for the $13.5 billion Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) that Congress is presently reauthorizing and which funds innumerable programs that benefit students in private, frequently religious, schools, as well as public school students. The specific issue in Mitchell is whether federal Chapter 2 funds (which are now included within Title VI of the ESEA) can be used by parochial schools in Jefferson Parish, La., to purchase computers, software and library books. Schools generally use these funds to buy technology and instructional materials, including library resources and software, to support programs for at-risk and gifted students and for miscellaneous school improvements. By law, private school students are eligible to participate equitably in obtaining "secular, neutral, and non-ideological services, materials, and equipment."

The high court announced today that it will hear Mitchell v Helms, a case brought 13 years ago by Louisiana parents who challenged several state and federal programs aiding parochial schools. The central concern in the current round of litigation is a federal program providing computers, library materials, audiovisual equipment and televisions to parochial schools. The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Aug. 17, 1998, that the program is unconstitutional. The Constitution bars such public aid to religious schools, the panel ruled. "The Mitchell case is likely to be the most important church-state lawsuit to come before the Supreme Court in over two decades," said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United. "This case forces the court to face squarely the question of direct taxpayer aid for religious schools.

Extractions: CHURCH-STATE LAW, SAYS AMERICANS UNITED The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments today in a Louisiana case dealing with tax dollar aid to private religious schools, an important controversy that could have a large impact on the First Amendment and existing church-state law. The case, Mitchell v. Helms , was originally brought 14 years ago by Louisiana parents who challenged several state and federal programs aiding parochial schools. The central concern being considered by the justices is a federal program providing computers, library books and other materials to parochial schools. "Taxpayers should never be forced to financially support private religious education," said Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, which filed a brief with the Supreme Court in support of the parents. "Public money should only be used for public purposes, and we hope the justices affirm that constitutional principle."

Appendix: Overview of Supreme Court Jurisprudence on Public Aid to Private Schools On June 28, as this report was going to press, the United States Supreme Court decided an important and long-awaited First Amendment case clarifying the extent to which public dollars can assist students in parochial schools. This topic has triggered epic battles in courtrooms and legislative chambers for some seventy-five years, and, with such hot issues as the constitutionality of school vouchers much with us today, the arguments show no sign of abating. By a 6-3 margin, the Court ruled in Mitchell v. Helms The Mitchell Mitchell Thus the policy terrain on which Mitchell has landed is bumpy and uneven as one moves from place to place. We do not, however, expect the policy debate to end anytime soon. It may even intensify. The expected retirement of three and perhaps four Supreme Court justices during the next presidential administration also means that the direction of the Court in these (and other) contentious cases could dramatically shift. Much is unsettled.
SUPREME COURT TO REVISIT PUBLIC AID TO RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS a 14year old dispute from louisiana which many legal observers say is at the heartof the question over public aid to parochial and other faith-based schools. http://www.atheists.org/flash.line/vouch6a.htm
Extractions: FLASHLINE Web Posted: June 15, 1999 he nation's highest court decided Monday that it will examine whether public funds may be used to purchase instructional materials, computer and other items for use in religious, sectarian schools. The justices agreed to review a 14-year old dispute from Louisiana which many legal observers say is at the heart of the question over public aid to parochial and other faith-based schools. The Clinton administration applauded the court's announcement, and hopes that part of an $15 billion educational bill, including the spending of nearly $800 million on computer and related technology programs, will reach religious schools. According to the U.S. department of Education, in the 1997-98 school year more than $12 million in government funds was used for instructional and related materials in private and sectarian schools in 34 states. At issue is the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, which gives public schools money for special types of instructional materials. Public school districts are required to share any equipment a "secular, neutral and nonideological way" with private and sectarian schools in the district. In Louisiana, Jefferson Parish taxpayers sued government officials in 1985, though, saying that the program violated the First Amendment's establish clause ban on aid to religion. A federal judge upheld the aid program in 1997, but last August the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the ruling.
