Cert. Filed In Challenge To Michigan’s Blaine Amendment

By Howard Friedman on April 9, 2024

A petition for certiorari (full text) was filed with the U.S. Supreme Court last week in Hile v. State of Michigan, (Sup. Ct., cert. filed 4/4/2024). In the case, the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals held that an amendment placed in the Michigan Constitution in 1970 that prohibits public funds from being used to aid private or religious schools does not violate the equal protection rights of parents who cannot use Michigan Educational Savings Program to send their children to religious schools. (See prior posting.) The Lion reports on the petition for review.
