Statement on today's Supreme Court ruling

The following is a statement from Commissioner Frank Edelblut regarding today's Carson v. Makin Supreme Court ruling:

"Schools of all kinds – public, non-public, religious or non-religious – have the distinct duty and ultimate responsibility to provide the best education possible for their students. This Supreme Court ruling clarifies what has always been so – that we do not discriminate against anyone, period. This ruling will ensure that school choice remains an opportunity for every student throughout the nation, and that there will be equality available among all educational institutions. There is no place for discrimination here in New Hampshire."
