CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A lawyer representing parents who sued the state of West Virginia argued in the state Supreme Court that a voucher program that would provide parents state money to pull their children out of K-12 public schools is blatantly unconstitutional. Tamerlin Godley said the enactment of the Hope Scholarship Program would disproportionately impact poor children and those with disabilities.

It was set to go into effect this school year, but was blocked by a lower court judge in July.
