An equally divided Supreme Court keeps in place the Oklahoma Supreme Court decision blocking the establishment of the nation's first religious charter school. A significant victory for the separation of church and state!

Delighted that 'Private Disestablishment' is now forthcoming at the BYU Law Review. Looking forward to working with the editors! SSRN: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.... On what's at stake with religious charter schools, see Linda Greenhouse in the NYT yesterday: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/09/o...
