Dispute over publicly funded religious charter school is at the Supreme Court

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : The case is expected to attract public attention, especially since the conservative justices, who hold a majority on the court, have issued rulings that expand religious freedoms.
52% : Among the questions the justices will have to decide is whether the privately run school's actions are considered "state action" because it accepts public funding and serves all students, and if it violates the First Amendment by excluding privately run religious schools from state charter programs.
37% : The Oklahoma Statewide Charter School Board is being represented by Alliance Defending Freedom, the conservative Christian legal group that has advocated against same-sex marriage, transgender rights, abortion and birth control access.
