'A right to religious freedom': Plaintiff speaks out after Supreme Court hears school choice case


SUPREME COURT JUSTICES CLASH OVER MAJOR SCHOOL-CHOICE CASEThe case centers around a tax-credit scholarship program passed in May 2015 that gave Montanans up to a $150 credit for donating to private scholarship organizations, helping students pay for their choice of private schools. The state's revenue department made a rule banning those tax-credit scholarships from going to religious schools before the state's supreme court later struck down the entire law. Espinoza, a mother who works two jobs as she struggles to pay private school tuition for her children, told Fox News that knowing her case could set nationwide precedent bolstering the school-choice movement puts things in perspective. "This case is about religious liberty, but it's about so much more than that," she said. "At its core, it's about families' right to choose the best school for their kids regardless of whether that school is religious or nonreligious."
