Crosspoint Church, which operates Bangor Christian Schools, filed a complaint Monday against a Maine law it says effectively prohibits tuition aid for conservative religious schools.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the Supreme Court's opinion last year ruling that Maine's non-sectarian requirement for its tuition assistance program was unconstitutional.
."Regardless of how the benefit and restriction are described, the program operates to identify and exclude otherwise eligible schools on the basis of their religious exercise.", then-State House Speaker Ryan Fecteau tweeted that he had"anticipated the ludicrous decision from the far-right SCOTUS.
Frey also said that he would"explore with Governor Mills’ administration and members of the Legislature statutory amendments to address the Court’s decision and ensure that public money is not used to promote discrimination, intolerance, and bigotry."
