Education Policy Meets Whac-a-Mole^®

Posted By Andrew J. Coulson On November 9, 2010 @ 3:42 pm In Education and Child Policy,Law and Civil Liberties | Comments Disabled

K-12 school choice programs based on education tax credits are receiving a lot of attention after last week’s Supreme Court oral arguments in the Winn case ^[1]. SCOTUS is likely to overturn a lower court ruling in Winn that would have hobbled or killed Arizona’s education tax credit program, and that has some folks consternated.

Among the ranks of the tetchy is Kevin Carey of the Quick and the Ed ^[2]. Jay Greene responds here ^[3], and concludes, in essence, that Carey is inconsistently alternating between two criticisms of tax credits whenever one is whacked with a compelling counterargument. Worth a read.
