CLE Responds to U.S. Supreme Court Decision to Hear Oklahoma Religious Charter Schools Case

On Friday, January 24, we learned that the U.S. Supreme Court will hear the Oklahoma religious charter school case. The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that the state’s approval of a religious public charter school was unlawful. 

In response to this decision, we are sharing a statement on behalf of the Center for Learner Equity:

“Religious charter schools contradict constitutional law. We stand with the Oklahoma Supreme Court’s June 25, 2024 decision, which safeguards church-state separation. We urge collaboration across policymakers, disability rights, civil rights, and charter communities, turning a collective focus on protecting access to equitable, inclusive, and safe schools for all students, especially students with disabilities.”
