ACLU sues Indiana over sholarship program

The Indianapolis Star reports:

The ACLU of Indiana filed a lawsuit Thursday against a popular Indiana scholarship program, claiming it rejects children whose parents are not U.S. citizens or legal residents.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana contends the 21st Century Scholars program is unconstitutional because its eligibility requirements exclude American-born students based on the status of their parents.
The eligibility requirements violate federal immigration law and the U.S. Constitution's equal protection clause, turning the students into "second-class citizens," said Ken Falk, the ACLU of Indiana's legal director.

This is a very interesting lawsuit.
