(November 18, 1999)   President Jeanne Allen of the Center for Education Reform commented today on this afternoon's decision by the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. The 6th Circuit decided to leave undisturbed the Supreme Court's November 5th stay of Judge Solomon Oliver's injunction against new children entering the Cleveland Scholarship Program.

        "It's a great decision! Its just too bad that the opponents continue to saturate the courts with nuisance lawsuits that don't help children.  We look forward to the day when school choice is a right, not just for those who have money but for those who are less privileged too."
