'This is an important book on an important topic. Winer and Crimm analyze the current political morass and discord, and make smart recommendations to resolve the issues in the interest of our children and the Constitution's demands. Neither side in this polarized debate will be happy, but that is the mark of thoughtful and rational solutions. Every state legislator should read this book.' Marci A. Hamilton, Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, USA 'God, Schools, and Government Funding: First Amendment Conundrums is a comprehensive and balanced analysis of the modern Supreme Court's arduous approach to reviewing the constitutionality of school choice programs. Delving into both the history and current debate over the public funding of private religious education, the book carefully examines the policy arguments in favor of school choice as well as the Court's rationales for upholding its constitutionality.


God, Schools, and Government Funding is an indispensable resource for anyone desiring to understand the ongoing legal and policy debate over private school choice.' Steven K. Green, Fred H. Paulus Professor of Law; Director of the Center for Religion, Law & Democracy, Willamette University College of Law, USA 'Arguing from a staunchly separationist perspective, Professors Winer and Crimm challenge the current Court's substantive retreat from Establishment Clause principles limiting government aid to religious schools. Their book helps to focus debate on this issue in several important ways. It provides an extensive and detailed description of a wide range of government funding mechanisms that are being employed to fund religious schools today, ranging from vouchers, to education savings accounts, to tax credits for contributions to scholarship tuition organizations, and explains the ramifications of these varied programs for taxpayer religious liberty concerns. It also explores statutory alternatives legislatures should consider in evaluating.
