      [0566c] Citizens for Educational Freedom (Wisconsin Federation) Records, 1961-1978

      Location: Special Collections & University Archives, Raynor Memorial Libraries, Marquette University, 1355 West Wisconsin Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53233

      Description: An offshoot of the national organization of Citizens for Educational Freedom (CEF), the Wisconsin Federation was founded in 1961 to promote passage of the state's Fair Bus Bill, a measure intended to provide public busing to students who attended non-public schools. The law passed but was later reversed. Nevertheless, the Federation—inspired by its short term success—lobbied for further educational benefits, such as tax credits, government grants, and vouchers for parents of non-public school students. The Wisconsin Federation shared the same basic goal as its national counterpart—to secure the equal distribution of public financial education benefits for students in non-public schools. It ceased operations in 1978. The records consist of general subject files, financial records, minutes of meetings, correspondence, files, and scrapbooks. Series 1. Alphabetical Subject Files, 1961-1974, contains files on Bus Bill; Governor Lucey; and Richard M. Nixon; On Parochial Aid, clippings.
