Join us for a special screening of a new documentary film, “Big Sacrifices, Big Dreams: Ending America’s Bigoted Education Laws,” to be released by Pioneer Institute. The film profiles four American families, two of which are from Massachusetts. Their pursuit of educational opportunity is impeded by so-called Blaine Amendments, which prohibit state money from supporting religiously affiliated schools. There are 38 states with constitutions that contain Blaine Amendments. This screening event will feature Raymond Flynn, former Ambassador to the Holy See and former Mayor of Boston, as well as Catholic school leaders and education policy experts. Light refreshments will be served.
