Quick Glance: Oklahoma Court Rejects Proposed Religious Public Charter School
- The Oklahoma Supreme Court rejected a proposed state-financed Catholic charter school, stating that the first-of-its-kind religious public school would violate the state and U.S. constitutions.
- The ruling said that the state’s Charter Schools Act, as well as the state and U.S. constitutions, allow only nonsectarian public schools and that the state is prohibited from using public money for the establishment of a religious institution.
- Supporters of the school highlighted recent Supreme Court rulings indicating that states cannot discriminate against religious schools if they give money to secular schools via vouchers. The case is expected to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court and closely monitored after recent decisions expanding the use of tax dollars in support of religious education.
- The ruling disregards the needs of many families in Oklahoma seeking choice in their child’s education. The lawsuit filed by the Attorney General against the school was seen as a victory for religious liberty by preventing the state from sponsoring any religion at all.
