In a span of one week the US Supreme Court issued two major decisions related to religious freedom. In Carson v. Makin, a 6-3 majority held that a tuition assistance program in Maine that excluded religious private schools was unconstitutional. A few days later, the Court, in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, effectively overturned the 1971 Lemon v. Kurtzman decision, a position for which Agudah has long advocated. Agudath Israel’s national director of state relations, Rabbi A.D. Motzen, spoke with noted constitutional scholar Nathan Lewin on Sunday, the day before the Kennedy v. Bremerton School District ruling was issued. They discussed the ramifications of the Carson decision and what could happen to yeshiva tuition if Lemon v. Kurtzman was overturned, something that Mr. Lewin’s brief on behalf of COLPA (National Jewish Commission on Law and Public Affairs) argued in the Carson case.
