WATCH: SCOTUS Takes Up Case Affecting Religious Freedom and School Choice

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case about a virtual Catholic charter school in Oklahoma that was shut down solely because it’s religious.

This case could greatly affect religious and educational freedom.

After the Oklahoma Statewide Charter School Board approved St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School’s application to become a charter school, Attorney General Gentner Drummond sued the board to cancel the contract—solely because the school is religious.

That’s religious discrimination. So Alliance Defending Freedom is asking the Supreme Court to uphold the board’s approval decision. Parents and children are better off when they have more choices for education, not fewer.

St. Isidore welcomes all students, regardless of their religious beliefs. It simply wants to provide an option for parents who would like to choose a high-quality Catholic education for their children.

In this FOX News interview, ADF Chief Legal Counsel Jim Campbell speaks about the significance of the case, and how it could affect you.

“Kids and families do better when there’s more educational options,” he explains. “If the government creates a public program, and it allows private organizations to apply to participate in it, it can’t exclude religious groups.”

We pray that the Court will stand against religious discrimination in this case, expand educational freedom around the country, and affirm our constitutional rights.
