Will school choice save public education?
Will it provide needy children with a religious school alternative?
Or does it merely abandon those who need help the most?
Clint Bolick, author of “Voucher Wars: Waging the Legal Battle over School Choice,” will discuss the politics of school choice at Sacred Heart University on Wednesday, October 19 at 3:00 p.m. The lecture will take place in the Edgerton Center for the Performing Arts. The event, sponsored by the University's Department of Government and Politics, is free and open to the public.
Mr. Bolick is the president and general counsel of the Alliance for School Choice, and former president and founder of the Institute for Justice based in Washington, D.C.
In 2003, Bolick successfully led the litigation team before the United States Supreme Court in Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, which won the right for economically disadvantaged parents to choose religious schooling for their children within the context of Ohio's school voucher program. This case followed Mr. Bolick's other landmark victories for school choice in the Wisconsin and Arizona State Supreme Courts.
