Listen: Supreme Court considers taxpayer funds for first religious charter school
The Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday in a case that could greenlight the first openly religious charter school funded by taxpayers — with sweeping implications for both private and public schools moving forward.
The St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School in Oklahoma is looking to become the nation’s first religious charter school after its creation was ruled unconstitutional by the Sooner State’s highest court, which sided with parents and civil rights groups who see it as a violation of the separation of church and state.
Oral arguments were scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.
