The high court, in a 7-2 ruling in Trinity Lutheran Church v. Comer, sided with the religious school.

The Supreme Court court ruled on June 26 that the government may not exclude religious groups from grant programs simply because they are religious.

The Supreme Court said a Lutheran preschool should not be excluded from a state grant program to refurbish its playground surface just because it is a religious entity.

U.S. educational history is rife with examples of varying levels of government involvement with religious education in public schools.

A year after the Supreme Court returned their cases to lower courts, those fighting Obamacare's contraception requirement still do not have a direction.

The outcome of the court case could make it easier to use state money to pay for private, religious schooling in many states.
