The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear a case regarding the legality of religious public charter schools, focusing on the proposed St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School in Oklahoma. The initiative, initially dismissed as illegal, has become a significant legal battle over whether charter schools can incorporate religious teachings while receiving taxpayer funding.
Opponents, including the ACLU and Oklahoma’s Attorney General, argue that such schools violate the constitutional separation of church and state. The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled the school unconstitutional, and the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision could have far-reaching implications for the intersection of religion and public education in America
