CURE News and Clergy Blog News and Commentary for Christians
The Center for Urban Renewal and Education’s (CURE) new report — Education Choice for All Students: A Moral and National Imperative — is a must-read for everyone who supports school choice, especially parents with children stuck in failing government schools.
Download the 26-page report in PDF here. An excerpt (emphasis in original):
“School choice advocates should file lawsuits to ensure that children
have the right to attend private, religious, or home schools.
It is a fundamental principle of our faith that all people have a God-given right to be treated equally; this right is enshrined in our nation’s founding documents and the U.S. Constitution. When low-income children and others are denied the opportunity to receive a good education, the moral fabric of our nation suffers and we fall short of our founding ideals. The public school system is failing millions of our children, especially low-income children. We must use every tool at our disposal to right this wrong, and that must include legal action through the courts. The U.S. Supreme Court has been moving to affirm the right of parents to educate their children in a religious setting, and we must ensure that right is fully protected. CURE is continuing our work with allied advocates to advance educational freedom and equal opportunity for all American children.”
