Opening the Door to Faith-Based Charter Schools
Andy Smarick, The74
Thursday, April 6, 2023
Last December, the attorney general of Oklahoma issued an advisory opinion stating that, due to recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions, the state could no longer prohibit faith-based groups from operating charter schools. Catholic leaders seized the opportunity and applied to do just that; the state’s virtual charter board may vote on their application as early as next week. We should expect a [SCOTUS] opinion ruling that states aren’t obligated to allow charter schools, but once they do, they can’t single out faith-based groups for exclusion.
