Miss you Ted!
SCOTUS may be about to to allow Oklahoma to have a publicly funded religious charter school. The school uses a curriculum based on Catholic teachings and would have a good deal of autonomy over what is taught, compared with traditional public school.
The argument is First Amendment rights of schools, which makes no sense to me. If the state funds religious instruction, how is that not the state "establishing an official religion?"
So will they fund Muslim, Orthodox Jewish, atheist, and pastafarian schools too? Wiccan?
