Episode 43 - Agreement Across the Aisle? The SCOTUS Case on Publicly Funded Religious Charter Schools

In this episode of Golf and Politics, Matt and Rob dive into a surprisingly thoughtful and balanced political conversation centered around a proposed Catholic charter school in Oklahoma. Despite often sparring from opposite sides of the aisle, the hosts find rare common ground as they explore the constitutional, cultural, and political implications of public funding for religious education. The conversation touches on the separation of church and state, legal precedent, and the long-term consequences of opening the door to state-supported religious institutions—both for Christians and people of other faiths. Also in this episode: Rob shares stories from his recent golf trip to Asia, and Matt gives a quick update on the Parker Improvement Project, tying it all together with laughs, lively debate, and a shared love of golf.
