Despite growing evidence that voucher students fall behind academically when
they switch from public to private schools, Indiana legislators have increased
the cost of the state’s voucher program to $439 million. Education writer Steve
Hinnefeld looks at the latest voucher report from the Indiana Department of
Education, and asks, should Hoosier taxpayers pay for schools that discriminate?

by Jim Allison

judicial branch of government above Congress — may make Americans more open to
judicial reform, writes Jim Allison. Given the unpopularity of recent court

Many Hoosiers can’t access comfort care, and so they are less likely to
