Supreme Court to Hear Case on Oklahoma's St. Isidore Catholic Virtual Charter School Funding
Jan 24, 2025, 10:39 PM
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a landmark case concerning the approval of the nation's first publicly funded religious charter school in Oklahoma. The case centers on whether explicitly religious schools can be included in state charter school programs, potentially redrawing the line between church and state by allowing government to establish and directly fund religious schools for the first time. The Oklahoma Charter School Board had approved the establishment of St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School, a Catholic institution. However, Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond, a Republican, is opposing the move. The Supreme Court's decision to hear the case during its current term could reshape the separation of church and state and is considered a potential blockbuster for law and religion.
