The Oklahoma Supreme Court has declared the approval of the nation's first publicly funded Catholic charter school, the St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual Charter School, unconstitutional due to violating the Establishment Clause. The 3-2 vote by the Statewide Virtual Charter School Board was overturned, as the court ruled that sponsoring a charter school that propagates a specific religious curriculum while being funded by the state contradicts both state and federal law. The decision is significant as it comes amidst a trend of conservative-led states pushing for religious inclusion in education, with implications beyond Oklahoma.
