Supreme Court to Hear Challenge to Religious Charter School in Oklahoma

Supreme Court to Hear Challenge to Religious Charter School in Oklahoma
SHARE

The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments regarding the nation’s first religious charter school in Oklahoma, which aims to incorporate Catholic teachings into its curriculum. The case raises questions about whether states can sponsor and finance religious charter schools, blurring the line between government support for private religious schools and public schools with religious autonomy.

The school in question, St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School, is operated by the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City and the Diocese of Tulsa. It seeks to infuse Catholic doctrine into all aspects of its educational activities. If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the school, it could have implications for laws in 45 other states that allow charter schools. This decision would challenge the distinction made in previous cases between government funding for parents to choose private schools, including religious ones, and direct government support for religious schools.

The dispute over St. Isidore is the third major case on religion to come before the Supreme Court recently. In earlier cases, the court seemed inclined to support a Catholic charity’s tax exemption and allow parents to withdraw their children from classes with LGBTQ themes based on religious objections. However, the Oklahoma Attorney General has sued to stop the school, arguing that it violates the First Amendment’s establishment clause and the state constitution’s prohibition on funding religious institutions with public money.

The state’s Supreme Court ruled against St. Isidore, stating that the school’s religious nature conflicts with the nonsectarian requirement for charter schools in Oklahoma. The majority warned that allowing public funding for a religious school could infringe on individuals’ freedom to practice religion without government intervention. The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in Carson v. Makin also addressed government support for religious schools, highlighting the tension between secular education in public schools and funding for religious education.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett recused herself from the case, but her ties to the religious liberty clinic representing the charter school have raised questions about potential biases. The outcome of this case will have far-reaching implications for the intersection of government funding and religious education in public schools. It remains to be seen how the Supreme Court will navigate these complex issues and uphold the principles of religious freedom and state neutrality.
