Expanding Public Funds and Advocacy for Religious Schools via School Choice: Cultivating or Curtailing Equity?

Sun, April 24, 2:30 to 4:00pm PDT (2:30 to 4:00pm PDT), Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, Floor: South Building, Level 1, Leucadia

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This panel focuses on the emerging issue of religion in the critical scholarship of school choice in the U.S. and Canada. Prompted by the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decisions in Espinoza and Fulton, as well as its announcement that it will hear the Maine “tuitioning” case (Carson v. Makin) in the 2022 term, the panel examines how these decisions will affect equity and inclusion among different U.S. social and racial groups in religious schools and how these schools are responding to changing policy and institutional environments. The panel will also explore similar tensions in religious schools in an increasingly diversifying and polarized Canada, where advocates are pushing for the expansion of religious schools and programs.
