Title	Amicus Curiae Brief Opposing School Vouchers
Subject	Education Religion in Ohio United Church of Christ Educational vouchers United States. Supreme Court
Place	Cleveland (Ohio) Cuyahoga County (Ohio) New York (New York)
Description	The United Church of Christ's Justice and Witness Ministries was one of eight amici opposing school vouchers as the Zelman vs. Simmons-Harris case reached the United States Supreme Court in 2001. An amicus curiae brief is a report filed by an outside party in a lawsuit intended to advise judges of important issues. In 2002, the Supreme Court found the voucher program constitutional. The 28-page document is measures 8.5" x 11" (21.59 x 27.94 cm). Included here are the first fourteen pages. Cleveland's school voucher program gave students monetary credits that could be used in any private school. In 1996, Doris Simmons-Harris, parent of a public school student, and others challenged the school vouchers program in Ohio court. Since the First Amendment prohibits Congress from establishing religion, opponents of Cleveland's school voucher program believed that this was in direct opposition to the First Amendment. The Congregational Christian churches and the Evangelical and Reformed Church merged to form the United Church of Christ in Cleveland, Ohio in 1957. The Evangelical and Reformed Church merged as a whole denomination. Each individual Congregational Christian local church voted whether to join in the merger. The General Synod is a governing body of the national level of the United Church of Christ; it meets every other year.
