The Oklahoma charter board is facing a second lawsuit after rejecting a Jewish organization’s application to open a public charter school. The lawsuit argues that the rejection violates constitutional rights by discriminating against religious groups in public education. This follows a previous suit on similar grounds, highlighting ongoing tensions in charter school approvals.
