Oklahoma’s attorney general on Oct. 20 sued to stop what would be the first publicly funded religious school in the United States.

Attorney General Gentner Drummond, a Republican, said that a state board’s approval of a Catholic school would, if not stopped, lead to other religious schools being approved.
