Fox News
The Kentucky Supreme Court said a controversial state law that granted tax credits for donations supporting private school tuition was unconstitutional.
"We are compelled to agree that the EOA Act violates the plain language of Section 184," Deputy Chief Justice Lisabeth T. Hughes wrote for the court. "Simply stated, it puts the Commonwealth in the business of raising 'sum(s) … for education other than in common schools." Chris Pandolfo is a writer for Fox News Digital.

The ruling upheld a lower court decision that barred the state Department of Revenue from administering the program more than a year ago. The court's decision was welcomed by teachers unions, who hailed it as a victory for public school education.
