“Parents should be able to choose what’s best for their own children. New Hampshire’s program allows businesses to help make that happen, and nothing about that violates the state constitution, as the state’s legal history clearly demonstrates. The arguments the ACLU is making against this program do not at all reflect the reality of what the state constitution clearly allows. The people who stand to suffer the most if the ACLU succeeds are New Hampshire’s students.”
Alliance Defending Freedom, Cornerstone Policy Research, and Liberty Institute filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the case, Duncan v. State of New Hampshire, in defense of the state program. Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys participated in successfully defending a similar Arizona program in a case that the U.S. Supreme Court ultimately decided in the program’s favor in 2011.
