Team, our partner, Oklahoma Parent Legislative Action Committee (OKPLAC) filed a lawsuit to protect the separation of church and state, and here’s everything you need to know:

First, Oklahoma’s state government tried to use taxpayer money to fund a religious charter school.

Then, OKPLAC took action. The ACLU explains how our partner is getting involved in this ongoing case, and what exactly is at stake in OKPLAC, Inc. v. Statewide Virtual Charter School Board:

“The plaintiffs are faith leaders, public school parents, and public education advocates who object to their tax dollars funding a public charter school that will discriminate against students and families based on their religion and LGBTQ+ status, fail to adequately serve students with disabilities, and indoctrinate students into one religion — all in violation of Oklahoma law and our country’s promises of the separation of church and state and public schools that are open to all.”

Now, we all need to band together and show support for OKPLAC and our partners like them who are fighting for our democracy, for our rights and freedoms, and for our nation’s fundamental precedents like the separation of church and state.
