Catholic Church in Oklahoma Will Attempt to Open Nation’s First Religious Charter School
Based on recent Supreme Court rulings, Oklahoma’s attorney general said the state’s current restrictions on religious charter schools are likely unconstitutional.
Oklahoma will receive an application for the nation’s first religious charter school from the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City, following a new opinion from the state’s attorney general that religious charter schools are constitutionally permissible.
The executive director of the state’s Catholic Conference, Brett Farley, says the archdiocese will submit its application for charter authorization next month. The application will be closely watched by advocates of religious liberty nationwide.
