Case Summary

Oklahoma approved a charter school operated by the Catholic Church, and the state superintendent challenged the approval under the Establishment Clause. The Court affirmed the state court’s judgment by an equally divided vote. Because no majority opinion issued, the judgment resolved the case without establishing a controlling national rule on the charter-school question.
