The Court found the Statewide Virtual Charter School Board’s Approval of the Catholic Archdiocese's Application for the St. Isidore of Seville Virtual Charter School, Unconstitutional.
This Ruling cited Violations of both the Oklahoma and U.S. Constitutions, as well as State Law.
The Case has garnered National Attention, with Proponents believing recent U.S. Supreme Court Rulings, suggest a shift towards allowing Public Funds for Religious entities.
This development has significant Implications for similar Initiatives across the Country.
Conservative-led States have increasingly targeted Public Education, with Louisiana Mandating the Ten Commandments in Classrooms.
Other States are facing pressures to Incorporate Religious Teachings and Censor topics on Race, Sexual Orientation, and Gender Identity.
Justice James Winchester emphasized that under Oklahoma Law, Charter Schools must remain Nonsectarian.
The Court Ruled that St. Isidore's Plan to integrate Catholic Curriculum under State Sponsorship Violated this Principle.
The Archdiocese of Oklahoma City and Diocese of Tulsa, expressed their intent to explore All Legal avenues in response to the Ruling.
This Indicates a likely Continuation of the Legal Battle over the Issue.
If you want to teach about Religon, it should be All Religons.
One year during Public School, I was bedridden. My classmates would drop off my homework, and my Teacher would pick it up in the morning. That was the year, I made my project learning about All Religions.
