The Supreme Court agreed on Friday to hear Oklahoma’s request to allow a state-funded Catholic charter school.
St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School is a planned digital learning, and explicitly Roman Catholic, institution that, if approved, would become the country’s first taxpayer-funded religious charter school, NBC News reported.
The court will address a lower court decision deeming the school’s funding to be unconstitutional. Notably, a majority of the justices profess the Roman Catholic faith. Associate Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Sonia Sotomayor, as well as Chief Justice John Roberts, are all Catholic.
