Today the US Supreme Court will hear 2 cases regarding whether public money can go to Catholic charter schools. Case No. 24-394. Oklahoma Statewide Charter School Board, et al. v. Gentner Drummond, Attorney General of Oklahoma, ex rel. Oklahoma; and Case No. 24-396. St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School v. Gentner Drummond, Attorney General of Oklahoma, ex rel. Oklahoma. Case No. 24-394 and Case No. 24-396 are consolidated cases concerning whether (1) the academic and pedagogical choices of a privately owned and run school constitute state action simply because it contracts with the state to offer a free educational option for interested students; and (2) whether a state violates the First Amendment's free exercise clause by excluding privately run religious schools from the state's charter-school program solely because the schools are religious, or instead a state can justify such an exclusion by invoking anti-establishment interests that go further than the First Amendment's establishment clause requires.
