Attorney General of Oklahoma Files Lawsuit Against Catholic Charter School | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Attorney General of Oklahoma has filed a lawsuit against the nation's first religious charter school. Republican Gentner Drummond says the establishment of the Catholic school violates religious liberty protections. He also says residents should not be forced to fund "the teachings of a specific religious sect." The board of Saint Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School responded to EWTN' Catholic News Agency. It says the Attorney General is using the language of fear and discrimination. Executive Director of the Catholic Conference of Oklahoma, Brett Farley, joins to share whether he is surprised that the Republican Attorney General is now against the Catholic charter school when it has the support of Republican Governor Kevin Stitt. Farley's legal advisor and law professor at the University of Notre Dame, Nicole Garnett, joins to discuss how she would respond to Attorney General Drummond calling the Catholic faith "a religious sect." He also says the people of Oklahoma should not have to "fund its teachings." Garnett tells us what she makes of the language he is using. Farley explains why the establishment of the Catholic charter school is so important and whether he thinks the best way to do it is with state funding. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
