Drummond remarks on actions of Oklahoma Charter School Board

OKLAHOMA CITY (July 30, 2024) – Attorney General Gentner Drummond made the following statement today after the Oklahoma Charter School Board defied the Oklahoma Supreme Court directive to end an unlawful contract to establish what would be the nation’s first state-sponsored, taxpayer-funded religious public school.

“Every Oklahoman should be outraged by the board’s blatant hostility toward religious liberty. Rather than acting to protect religious liberty, they are recklessly committed to using our tax dollars to fund radical religious teachings like Sharia law. I will continue to protect the religious liberty of all four million Oklahomans by upholding their constitutional rights.”
