COLUMBIA, S.C. (FOX Carolina) – South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson filed a friend-of-the-court brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in two pivotal cases that will determine the right of religious charter schools to receive state funds.
The attorney general filed a friend-of-the-court brief in 2024 asking the Supreme Court to take up these cases.
According to the attorney’s general office, the court has agreed to take up the cases.
Attorney General Wilson continues to argue that the Oklahoma State Supreme Court’s decision to block a Catholic virtual charter school from operating based on its religious affiliation is unconstitutional.
“The Constitution does not allow the government to discriminate against religious institutions simply because they operate from a faith-based perspective,” said Attorney General Wilson in a release. “This is a continued effort to ensure that religious organizations are not unfairly excluded from receiving public benefits or participating in education programs.”
