Will Mississippi Supreme Court stop public funds from going to private schools?

Mississippi Today’s Julia James and Bobby Harrison hear from Becky Glover, policy analyst with Parents for Public School, and Will Bardwell, senior counsel with Democracy Forward, about the scheduled Feb. 6 oral arguments before the state Supreme Court in their lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of sending public funds to private schools. Bardwell and Glover point out that Section 208 of Mississippi’s 1890 Constitution says plainly no public funds can go to a school “not conducted as a free public school.”
