Oklahoma approves first religious charter school in the US.

The Oklahoma Statewide Virtual Charter School Board has approved a plan to create the nation's first religious charter school, St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School, which will be fully government-funded. The decision has sparked backlash and questions about the constitutionality of using taxpayer dollars to fund a religious school. Opponents argue it violates the separation between church and state, and legal action is being prepared. Supporters argue that charter school laws are different in each state and that a religious charter school is allowed under Oklahoma law. The school is not afraid of lawsuits and is preparing for a potential legal battle that may reach the US Supreme Court.
