- Abstract:
  The article discusses a potential challenge to Utah's universal statewide school voucher program. Associate legal director for the People for the American Way, Judith E. Schaeffer, is considering filing suit on the grounds that the law violates a provision of the Utah Constitution barring aid to schools controlled by religious organizations. Schaeffer said that while the new Utah program may pass federal muster, it violates the state constitution because religious schools would end up receiving state funds.
