Oklahoma Supreme Court Rules Against State-Funded Catholic Charter School
The decision halts the opening of St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School, citing constitutional violations.
- The court found that funding a religious school with public money breaches both state and federal constitutions.
- Attorney General Drummond argued that allowing the school would lead to government interference in religion.
- The ruling stops St. Isidore from opening, affecting over 200 students who had applied to enroll.
- Catholic leaders plan to explore further legal options following the court's decision.
- A separate lawsuit claims the school would discriminate against LGBTQ+ students and fail to serve children with disabilities.
