Arviso v. Honig
Institute for Justice Sought Voucher Remedy from Failing Los Angeles Public Schools

The Institute for Justice filed a lawsuit on behalf of several dozen low-income parents and children trapped in Los Angeles public schools, challenging under the California Constitution the shockingly poor quality of public schooling and demanding a “voucher” remedy to enable the parents to obtain a better education for their children in private schools.  California courts dismissed the case.
