In an earlier article I discussed the effort by the Catholic dioceses in Oklahoma and the state Superintendent of Public Instruction to create a publicly-funded Catholic virtual charter school. The school was approved by the Statewide Virtual Charter School board, but was challenged this week in a lawsuit.
I largely avoided discussing the religious arguments involving the school because they are not directly related to this blog’s focus on books, publishing and education. For readers who are interested, however, on another website I examine the ideological foundations for the Oklahoma Catholic virtual charter school—both the specifically Catholic philosophy of integralism and the more general Christian nationalism—and analyze the ways in which such a school fits into the agendas of the two movements.
