Today Americas experiment in integrated education came to an end. Today the Supreme Court upheld Arizona’s Tax voucher system in Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization v. Winn. The statute allowed Arizona tax payers to make donations to school tuition organization while filing their taxes. Any amount, up to $1000 (for a married couple) given, would then provide a dollar for dollar reduction in the State income tax due. These STO’s would then decide how much money to give to applying students for enrollment in private school. Expressly upheld are religious based STOs that restrict scholarships to members of the sponsoring church.
