Mueller v. Allen: Facts of the Case
Mueller v. Allen: The Court’s Ruling
Mueller v. Allen (1983) involved a challenge to the State of Minnesota’s allowance of tuition deductions for specified educational expenses, filed under the Establishment Clause, which prohibits government making laws “respecting an establishment of religion.” The Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Mueller to let the state law stand provided an important precedent for other cases involving state support for religious schools.
