A recent Supreme Court tie upheld a lower court ruling that blocked the formation of a taxpayer-funded Catholic charter school in Oklahoma, marking a temporary victory for the separation of church and state. However, future rulings may favor religious charter schools due to anticipated conservative majorities. St. Isidore's Catholic charter school program indicated a desire to indoctrinate students in Catholic beliefs and was challenged for violating the state constitution, emphasizing the contentious relationship between religious institutions and public education funding in the U.S.
"On a more rational court, Oklahoma Statewide Charter School Board v. Drummond would not have been close at all."
"The case revolves around St. Isidore's, a proposed Catholic school that seeks to participate in Oklahoma's charter program."
