Cleveland Vouchers
This week's decision by a federal judge
in Ohio making permanent an order
voiding Cleveland's pioneering school
voucher program was a major setback
for supporters of vouchers — includ-
ing Orthodox Jewish groups.
Voucher opponents were delight-
ed, but nobody was uncorking the
champagne: the decision by Judge
Solomon Oliver Jr. is simply one
more judicial complication in a legal
tangle that will be resolved only
when the Supreme Court gets
around to taking up the issue.
Oliver rejected the voucher pro-
gram, which serves more than 3,500
students, as unconstitutional because
of the assertion that it did not include
guarantees that the government aid
would support only secular functions.
He also said that since most of
the 56 participating schools are
parochial, parents didn't have a real'
choice between religious and secular
private schools. The net effect, he
said, was that the state was indirectly
supporting religion through the
voucher program.
"It bears out what we've been say-
ing: every time you get a federal court
considering a voucher program, it gets
turned back on church-state grounds, "
aid Richard Foltin, legislative director
for the American Jewish Committee.
The Ohio program, he said, is one
that both supporters and opponents
hope will eventually provide judicial
resolution to the voucher debate.
Nathan Diament, director of the
Orthodox Union's Institute for
Public Affairs, expressed disappoint-
ment, but downplayed the decision.
"It was clear from his injunction ear-
lier in the year that this was going to
happen," he said.
"This was just formalizing an ear-
lier decision." He said he expects the
case will be quickly appealed to the
Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Whatever the result, the Cleveland
plan is almost certain to percolate
up to the Supreme Court by 2000 or
2001.1
