“In Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, Karen Sharkey — a devoted Christian parent — enrolled her child in Lighthouse Learning Academy, a public charter school promising parental input, including choice over curriculum. But when she selected four books and programs from Simply Charlotte Mason, the school said no. **The first three were rejected not because of content, but because the publisher is Christian.** And Biblingo? The school said it was ‘too biblical,’ because it includes images and videos of the biblical world.”

*“Sharkey’s legal team, the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL), sent a formal letter demanding the school reverse its decision or face a lawsuit. They argue this violates her child’s constitutional rights under the Free Exercise Clause. This isn’t just a legal argument — it’s about protecting Christian parents’ God-given rights.
The school defends itself, saying approving these materials could violate the Establishment Clause, which forbids public institutions from endorsing religion. It’s a legal tightrope between religious freedom and government neutrality.
For Karen Sharkey, this is deeply personal. She chose Lighthouse because of its promise to let parents pick curriculum that fits their child’s needs — and now she says they’re being singled out for their faith.”*

“Here’s the twist: at the heart of this case isn’t just a fight over books. It’s about parental rights. WILL argues that denying these materials infringes upon a fundamental right upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court: the right of parents to guide their child’s education and upbringing. This could reshape how public schools treat Christian-affiliated curriculum nationwide.”
