 On 24 January 2025, the US Supreme Court granted certiorari to a case that could fundamentally reshape the nature of public education in the United States by permitting public schools – so called charter schools – to become religious in character. However, this blog argues that this case is not merely about school choice or religious freedom, but rather reflects the culmination of “private disestablishment”— a legal phenomenon where entities that operate at the blurred boundary between public and private recast themselves as entirely private actors while performing public functions. By doing so, they secure public benefits—such as funding and regulatory advantages—without bearing the constitutional obligations, such as anti-discrimination mandates or religious neutrality, that typically constrain public institutions.  CC BY-SA 4.0 Mukherjee, Gaurav freedom of education freedom of religion public-private divide School System secularism 342 https://verfassungsblog.de/americas-first-religious-public-school/ Verfassungsblog 2366-7044 Max Steinbeis Verfassungsblog gGmbH 10.59704/777df2e7d98a0fa6 250205 10.59704/777df2e7d98a0fa6 Converted from MARCXML to MODS version 3.7 using MARC21slim2MODS3-7.xsl (Revision 1.140 20200717)
