Public Funds Public Schools (PFPS) is a teachers’ union-aligned campaign started by the controversial left-wing extremism watchdog Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), its affiliated SPLC Action Fund, the teachers’ union-funded litigation group Education Law Center, and the law firm Munger, Tolles & Olson.⁶ The law firm Munger, Tolles & Olsen is a participant in PFPS; it serves as the organization’s primary legal partner.¹⁷

Public Funds Public Schools submitted an amicus curiae brief on November 5, 2019 along with its parent organizations to the United States Supreme Court, arguing that student achievement is harmed when funds are dispersed to both public and private schools in Montana. The case was ultimately decided for the challengers and against the state’s and PFPS’s position, with the court finding in June 2020 that it was unconstitutional to ban religious schools from accessing the same institutional aid offered to other private schools.²⁵ $100,000 from the American Federation of Teachers in 2018-19; 0){ let parent=divs[divs.length-1].parentNode; let footer=divs[divs.length-1]; delete divs[divs.length-1]; for (let i=2; i
