Separation of church and state on education front heats up across nation

“The Oklahoma Attorney General’s attack against religious educators who wish to serve their communities through privately operated charter schools is wrong on the law and even worse for families in need,” John Meiser, director of the Lindsay and Matt Moroun Religious Liberty Clinic and associate clinical professor of law, said in support of the archdiocese upon its filing with the High Court.

Sharon and I met Amy in Laramie, Wyoming a year ago so on a Great Commission trip. Amy’s family is growing. Glory to God! We love this family. We love sharing JESUS and carrying out The Great Commission. Here is what Amy wrote on Facebook: Today my little family received this bible in the mail. And I am so excited to get diving into it. Bubba and I have decided that we are going to read a chapter a night.
Thank you Dewey and Sharon! We love you both!

BATON ROUGE, La. (BP) – A U.S. district judge heard arguments Oct. 21 over whether Louisiana public schools should be required to post the Ten Commandments prominently in each classroom, as the Legislature now stipulates.

In Oklahoma, several organizations are suing the State Board of Education over its mandate that the Bible be incorporated in public school lessons in grades five through 12 statewide. The Oklahoma Board of Education has approved the expenditure of $3 million this fiscal year and next to purchase 55,000 King James Version Bibles and accompanying publications of select historical documents for classroom instruction.

Also in Oklahoma, attorneys have filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court seeking permission to open what would be the first publicly funded religious charter school in the nation, St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School.
