Supreme Court deadlocked on Oklahoma Catholic charter school funding
The U.S. Supreme Court reached a 4-4 deadlock regarding whether Oklahoma could establish the nation’s first taxpayer-funded religious charter school, specifically for St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School. Justice Amy Coney Barrett recused herself from this case, which resulted in the affirmation of the Oklahoma Supreme Court’s ruling that blocked the school’s charter due to its religious affiliation, deeming it a violation of the state constitution. The Supreme Court did not provide further details on its decision. This case continues a meaningful discussion about the intersection of education funding and religious affiliation in the U.S. legal landscape.
