SCOTUS rules for parents in Mahmoud: supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf… Good: Government mustn't impose worldviews at odds with religion. But opt-out is a band-aid, not a cure, for government schooling in a diverse society. We need full choice: cato.org/blog/school-re… Cato Institute

Reading Mahmoud ruling, majority says private schooling is "expensive," noting private elementary schools in Montgomery County, MD, "cost $10,000 or more..." But right before, says per-pupil expenditure in public schools is $22,644. Yup: School choice NOW. Cato Institute

Choice is important, but this is a good outcome. The federal government does not have constitutional authority to deliver school choice through the tax code & we should not threaten one-stop regulation of private education.

SCOTUS got today's school reading decision right, but there is a lot more freedom needed in education.

A scholarship tax credit is not a voucher. That said, it's good it was removed. The Constitution doesn't permit it & it was a threat to introduce regulation into private schools nationwide.

The Senate college endowment tax is better than the House - top rate of 8% versus 21% - but it is still out of step with ordinary taxation for private foundations of $1.4%.

That states opt-in to the Senate's scholarship tax credit respects federalism more than the House. But the feds still have no constitutional authority for this, it would still complicate the tax code, & it still threatens regulation. the74million.org/article/big-ta… Cato Institute
