Oklahoma's Supreme Court has ruled against what would have been the first publicly funded religious charter school in the US.
The high court determined that a state school board's 3-2 vote last year to approve an application by the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City for the St. Isidore of Seville Virtual Charter School is in violation of the Establishment Clause of the US Constitution, reports the Associated Press.
The clause is part of the US Constitution’s famous First Amendment's that prohibits government from making any law “respecting an establishment of religion”. The ruling also states that both the Oklahoma and US constitutions, as well as state law, were violated.
