Public Monies for Private Schools: The Supreme Court's Changing Approach.

Anthony, Patricia

Journal of Education Finance, v12 n4 p592-605 Spr 1987

Briefly outlines the history of using public funds for private education and examines the development of related judicial doctrine, using several illustrative cases. In recent years, the U.S. Supreme Court's concern about "excessive entanglement" has weakened, sparking a heated, unresolved debate about the original intent of the Establishment Clause. Includes 64 legal references. (MLH)
