Public funds for religious charter school would be unconstitutional, Oklahoma high court says

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma Supreme Court on Tuesday stopped what would have been the first publicly funded religious charter school in the U.S., turning back conservatives and the state’s GOP governor who have welcomed religious groups into public education. The high court determined the Statewide Virtual Charter School Board’s 3-2 vote last year to approve an application by the Catholic Archdiocese of Oklahoma for the St. Isidore of Seville Virtual Charter School violates the Establishment Clause, which prohibits government from making any law “respecting an establishment of religion.” The ruling also says both the Oklahoma and U.S. constitutions, as well as state law, were violated.

Vote was 7-1 against, with one recusal for unspecified reasons.

What's taking so long for a injunction lawsuit to be filed against the Louisiana 10 commandments bill?

It's such an obvious violation of the Constitution.

small victory.
devos (another one of trump's billionaires) ensured that charter schools, preferably religious if possible, receive huge money flow diverted from public education. many states provide additional subsidies, including the use of tax exempt bonds.
i dont believe biden has taken any stand on this.

now image if the u.s. had norway's schools (trump's recent wish), by spending equivalent per capita money.
THAT would have been even a bigger target for MAGA looting.
