The Supreme Court was deadlocked on Thursday on whether to allow Oklahoma to establish the country’s first taxpayer-funded religious charter school.
The court split 4-4, with Justice Amy Coney Barrett recusing herself from the proceedings, therefore affirming the Oklahoma Supreme Court’s ruling, which had blocked the approval of a charter for St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School because of its religious affiliation. The high court did not elaborate on the reason for its decision.
The Oklahoma Supreme Court found in its ruling that a religious charter school would violate the state constitution.
