Cato Celebrates School Choice Week With A New Documentary
In 2012, the Live Free or Die state launched a bold initiative to advance educational freedom: scholarship tax credits.
The New Hampshire Opportunity Scholarship Act grants tax credits to businesses worth 85 percent of their contributions to nonprofit scholarship organizations that fund low- and middle-income students to attend private or home schools. The scholarship law then faced both a repeal effort in the legislature and a bitter lawsuit that went to the state’s highest court.
The Cato Institute is proud to present Live Free and Learn: Scholarship Tax Credits in New Hampshire, a short film detailing the struggle over New Hampshire’s scholarship law and some of the families it has touched.
In honor of School Choice Week, we are giving away a limited number of DVDs for FREE. Sign up to get a free copy mailed to you or watch it online.
The film premiered internationally on Monday, January 26th, and was followed by a discussion on the politics, policy, and constitutionality of scholarship tax credit laws, featuring former New Hampshire State Senator Jim Forsythe; former New Hampshire State Representative & Cato education policy analyst Jason Bedrick; Institute for Justice Senior Attorney Dick Komer; and Cato Institute Director of Multimedia Caleb O. Brown. You can watch a video of that discussion on the Cato website and tweet your comments using #CatoConnects.
