Summary
Can a state authorize a religious virtual charter school? Where is the line between the religious liberties of individuals and prohibitions on the government establishing a religion? Oh, what a beautiful morning! Oh, what a beautiful day. I've got a beautiful feeling everything's Oklahoma today! In this episode, we’re talking about a recent case that made waves in Oklahoma. An application was submitted for a virtual charter school. But not just any virtual charter school. This was going to be a Catholic school. That's right, a Catholic virtual public charter school. This is the case of an attempt to create the first religious public school in the United States. Get your legal pads ready; this is Drummond v. the Oklahoma Statewide Virtual Charter School Board. We also discuss a related situation in Oklahoma where the State Superintendent published a memo stating that all Oklahoma schools are required to incorporate the Bible, which includes the Ten Commandments, as an instructional support into the curriculum. --- We're building a Teaching Guide!
