[C](CONST. art. I)[ONST](CONST. art. I)[. art. I](CONST. art. I), § 5. The Oklahoma Constitution also demands that “[n]o public money   shall ever be appropriated   or used, directly or indirectly, for the use, benefit, or support of any sect, church, denomination, or system of religion   or sectarian institution . . . .”[O](OKLA. CONST. art. II)[KLA](OKLA. CONST. art. II)[. C](OKLA. CONST. art. II)[ONST](OKLA. CONST. art. II)[. art. II](OKLA. CONST. art. II), § 5. Consistent with these constitutional mandates, the Oklahoma Legislature established a type of “public school[] established by contract” called a “charter school.”OKLA.

Is the State of Oklahoma prohibited by the First Amendment from establishing a public charter school to promote the “evangelizing mission of the church” by “fully incorporat[ing] Catholic teachings into every aspect of the school, including its curriculum and co-curricular activities,” when the School is sub-  \nii  \nject to the State’s ongoing supervision of all significant functions, including a requirement that the School obtain prior authorization for any material changes to the State-approved Catholic curriculum?  \niii  \nPARTIES TO THE PROCEEDINGS  \nPetitioners are the Oklahoma Statewide Charter School Board and Brian T.
