Various interest groups have filed a lawsuit against an Oklahoma school board to stop the opening of the nation's first religious public charter school, saying the tax-funded Catholic school violates the separation of church and state.
The 70-page complaint filed Monday in Oklahoma court claims that authorization for a Catholic public charter school violates aspects of the state constitution, which protects against discrimination including that based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
They also claim that St. Isidore, located in Oklahoma City, isn’t able to provide for disabled students and that it would be led by the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City.
