ACLU Letter to House Budget Committee Leadership Urging Opposition To Federally-Funded Private And Religious School Vouchers Amendment

On behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a non-partisan organization with more than a half million activists and members and 53 affiliates nationwide, we urge you to oppose any amendment to the Concurrent Budget Resolution for Fiscal Year 2010 that would create, expand, or continue any federally-funded private and religious school voucher program. The Committee should not create, expand, or continue any program in the District of Columbia that would funnel scarce federal taxpayer funds to unaccountable private and religious schools.
