The Supreme Court’s supermajority appeared ready to hand the religious right a sweeping legal victory that could dramatically increase religion’s influence in American public schools.
That’s according to Vox’s Ian Millhiser, who flagged for readers Wednesday what real-world implications the case could carry.
During oral arguments on Wednesday, the high court’s conservative justices signaled support for a case out of Oklahoma that would force states to fund religious charter schools, as long as parents have the “choice” about where to send their child, as Justice Brett Kavanaugh put it.
“On the surface, Wednesday’s argument in Oklahoma Statewide Charter School Board v. Drummond merely signaled that the Court’s Republican majority will very likely take the next incremental step in its seemingly inexorable march toward integration of church and state,” Millhiser wrote.

However, upon closer inspection, Millhiser worried the court’s potential rewriting of the Constitution’s approach to religion could have a broader impact if applied outside of the public school context.
“If a religious individual believes it is a sin to ride a bus with people of another faith, does that mean that the state must now provide faith-segregated buses?” The Vox legal correspondent wrote on Wednesday. “If a city council puts out cookies and potato chips for attendees to snack on, do they violate the Constitution if these snacks are not kosher or halal?”
The Supreme Court’s ruling in the Oklahoma case is expected in the coming months, but for the time being, Millhiser said the high court’s right-leaning justices’ “religious conservative revolution is likely to march onward, remaking public schools, and potentially many other public institutions.”
It comes, he added, as the court’s “Christian right makeover of the Constitution enters its endgame.”
