In the Wake of the Supreme Court’s Landmark Ruling on Education Aid, Learn the Three Ps of Advocacy Work
There are no longer any legal barriers to federal, state and local governments providing financial support to religious and other nonpublic schools. This is the core impact of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling last month in Carson v. Makin - striking down Maine’s policy of excluding religious schools from its tuition assistance program. So, what comes next? What are the opportunities for Jewish and allied communities to create and expand education freedom and choice opportunities? The answers lie in remembering the “three Ps” that are the foundation of any good advocacy work - understanding policy, building partnerships and mobilizing people.
