Getting schooled – Why the Montana school choice bill asks the wrong question

Last week, in the dark of night, as the stars shone and children slept beneath the famished gaze of owls, school choice became law in Montana. Don’t worry–Gov. Bullock had no part in it. After Senate Bill 410 passed the House, he neither signed nor vetoed it for 10 days. At the end of that period, it became law by default. I don’t know how the exact mechanism works; an eldritch court of trees forges his signature or something.

And what is the content of SB 410, the law so controversial that Bullock could not officially acknowledge its existence? It provides an income tax credit for donations to private-school scholarship fundsup to $150.
