Sutherland Institute has filed an amicus brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit in the case Mid Vermont Christian School v. Saunders. This case challenges a state law in Vermont that effectively excluded all private religious schools from a public benefit program, while leaving the majority of secular private schools unaffected.

Sutherland Institute argues that the state cannot circumvent the Constitutional protection of religious exercise by imposing a de facto religious exclusion in its education funding laws or deny parents their right to exercise their responsibility to direct the education of their children.
