OKLAHOMA CITY (May 22, 2025) – Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond today issued the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court's 4-4 decision in the St. Isidore case. The divided ruling upholds the Oklahoma Supreme Court's decision to prevent taxpayer-funded religious public charter schools.
“The Supreme Court's decision represents a resounding victory for religious liberty and for the foundational principles that have guided our nation since its founding. This ruling ensures that Oklahoma taxpayers will not be forced to fund radical Islamic schools, while protecting the religious rights of families to choose any school they wish for their children.
“I have always maintained that we must faithfully uphold the Constitution, even when it requires us to make difficult decisions. I will continue upholding the law, protecting our Christian values, and defending religious liberty—regardless of how difficult the battle may be.”
