US EditionUS Supreme Court may broaden religious rights in looming rulings
- The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to issue rulings by end of June on three major religious rights cases from Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Maryland.
- These cases arise amid a 6-3 conservative majority and follow legal battles over public funding of religious charter schools, tax exemptions, and parental opt-outs from LGBT-inclusive school materials.
- The Oklahoma case involves the proposed St. Isidore religious charter school, Wisconsin concerns a tax exemption for Catholic Charities, and Maryland features parents seeking opt-outs from LGBT storybook lessons.
- A majority of justices showed sympathy for the religious claimants, while legal experts warn that broad rulings could reduce separation between church and state and shift constitutional interpretations of the First Amendment.
- The forthcoming decisions could significantly expand religious rights in public programs and influence future disputes about religion's role in government and education.
