A few years ago, Martin Luther King III, the son of Martin Luther King Jr., participated in a Florida rally the day after the national holiday that honors his father. 
The 2016 rally was in support of a school choice tax credit program that at the time faced a legal challenge from a Florida teachers union. 
“This is about justice,” King said. “This is about righteousness. This is about freedom — the freedom to choose for your family and your child.”
That message is especially relevant today, as Democratic presidential candidates — and Democratic elected officials, such as here in Michigan — advocate against school choice, including tax credits, vouchers and charter public schools. 
There could be some good news on the horizon, though. On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in what many observers believe could be a game changer for expanding private school programs around the country. The court took up a case out of Montana, relating to the state’s tax credit scholarship program that allowed families to choose religious schools. Depending on how broadly the court chooses to rule, it could potentially overturn so-called Blaine amendments in 37 states that block public dollars from flowing to private schools.

Michigan’s constitutional amendment is about the worst, as far as preventing any dollars from reaching nonpublic schools, even if the money is related to the general welfare of students.
