WASHINGTON – The United States Solicitor General’s Office, 12 states, charter school groups, religious organizations, and elected leaders submitted friend-of-the-court briefs to the U.S. Supreme Court in support of religious liberty and educational freedom. In Oklahoma Statewide Charter School Board v. Drummond, Alliance Defending Freedom attorneys are defending the Oklahoma Statewide Charter School Board’s decision to approve St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School’s application to participate in the state’s charter-school program. The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that the board could not allow St. Isidore to participate in the program because the school is religious.
