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.
