A conversation about the Espinoza ruling with Tim Keller and Kate Baker
On June 30, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue that states cannot exclude religious institutions from participating in school choice programs. New Hampshire has a similar scholarship program and a similar constitutional provision to the ones that were under discussion in the Espinoza case.
On July 8, the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy presented an online discussion of the case and its impact on New Hampshire, featuring two experts on the question of religious liberty and alternative education.
Tim Keller, senior attorney for the Institute for Justice, was a co-counsel for the plaintiff in the case.
Kate Baker is executive director of the Children’s Scholarship Fund N.H., which administers a New Hampshire tax-credit scholarship program.
In a webinar for the Josiah Bartlett Center, they explained the Espinoza ruling and its effect on New Hampshire.
We posted the video of that discussion on our newly resurrected YouTube channel here.
