The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty has filed an amicus briefwith the U.S. Supreme Court, asking it to consider hearing Espinoza v. Montana on behalf of former Gov. Scott Walker. The brief argues the case is “a landmark" one for school choice and religious liberty.

“The stakes could not be higher for school choice and religious freedom, which is why we strongly encourage the United States Supreme Court to hear this case,” Walker said. “Here in Wisconsin, our school choice program, currently used by over 40,000 students, is giving parents choices and improving students’ education. Despite opposition from the special interest groups, school choice is working in Wisconsin – if the Supreme Court gives Montana and other states the opportunity, I am confident it will work there too.”

The brief highlights the successes of school choice in Wisconsin and the risks presented by a Montana Supreme Court ruling that struck down a school choice program first created by the Legislature in 2015.
