Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall is continuing to support school choice and religious liberty across the country.

On Friday, Alabama’s top law enforcement officer announced that he has filed an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court to address a pair of cases from Oklahoma that will decide if states that make funds available to charter schools can also discriminate against those with a religious mission.

Marshall and a group of fellow attorney generals from several other states argue in the brief that the Oklahoma State Supreme Court’s decision to block a Catholic virtual charter school from operating purely based on its religious affiliation is unconstitutional.

“Religious liberty is the cornerstone of our great nation, and our coalition will stand firm as a safeguard against governments that discriminate against religious institutions,” said Marshall.

“We will relentlessly fight to ensure that the highest court in the land upholds the right of schools to not be denied public benefits based on religion.”

The Supreme Court is expected to hear oral arguments in these cases on April 30.

Marshall has a history of standing up for religious liberty.

In 2024, he filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of 26 states in an attempt to protect a synagogue in Tampa, Florida, after it was told it could no longer advertise on public transportation. Before the Florida case, he led a 13-state amicus brief in 2018 to the U.S. Supreme Court in support of the City of Pensacola and its right to publicly display a historic cross in a downtown park.
