The U.S. Supreme Court left intact Wisconsin’s controversial school voucher program, which provides tuition vouchers for low-income students to attend the private or parochial school of their choice. Both sides of the voucher debate in the Jewish community had urged the court to issue a ruling on the issue, but the justices decided to sidestep it instead. Jewish voucher proponents claimed a “significant victory” in the court’s action, while opponents said at least they had “lived to fight another day.”
