California aid programs prohibit parents from teaching their own children at home using curricula and publishers the state deems “religious.”

Washington, D.C.— On behalf of three California families who were excluded from a state program because they chose religious material to homeschool their own children, First Liberty Institute, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, and King & Spalding LLP asked the Supreme Court of the United States to reverse a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upholding California’s decision to discriminate against the families on the basis of religion.
