This article focuses on the argument over state aid to nonpublic education in Rhode Island in the late 1960s. The author examines the acrimonious debate surrounding the proposed 1968 tuition-grant bill sponsored by the Rhode Island chapter of the Citizens for Educational Freedom, a national group formed in 1959, dedicated to achieving state aid to nonpublic education.
