Maine is being sued over legislation enacted in 2021 that faith-based educators claim is a “poison pill” for religious schools.
The law covers participation in the state’s “tuititioning” program, which allows parents of children in districts without a high school to send those students to any other school inside or outside of Maine, public or private, with the government picking up the tab.
“The Legislature crafted the poison pill explicitly to circumvent the Supreme Court’s decision in Carson,” the lawsuit states. “The poison pill also specifically targeted Plaintiff [Crosspoint Church], who operates the school that two of the Carson plaintiffs attended.” Ms. Patterson said the religious exemption rules are unique in the way Maine views private schools in the state.
First Liberty’s Ms. Patterson said they’re “hoping that a preliminary injunction would protect the school and allow it to participate in the school choice program for the next school year.”
