A | Oklahoma's Republican Attorney General Gentner Drummond on Friday sued to stop a state board from establishing and funding what would be the nation's first religious public charter school after the board ignored Drummond's warning that it would violate both the state and U.S. constitutions.Drummond filed the lawsuit with the Oklahoma Supreme Court against the Oklahoma Statewide Virtual Charter School Board after three of the board's members this week signed a contract for the St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual Charter School, which is sponsored by the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City.“Make no mistake, if the Catholic Church were permitted to have a public virtual charter school, a reckoning will follow in which this state will be faced with the unprecedented quandary of processing requests to directly fund all petitioning sectarian groups,” the lawsuit states.The school board voted 3-2 in June to approve the Catholic Archdiocese's application to establish the online public charter school, which would be open to students across the state in kindergarten through grade 12. In its application, the Archdiocese said its vision is that the school “participates in the evangelizing mission of the Church and is the privileged environment in which Christian education is carried out.”The approval of a publicly funded religious school is the latest in a series of actions taken by conservative-led states that include efforts to teach the Bible in public schools, and to ban books and lessons about race, sexual orientation and gender identity.Oklahoma's Constitution specifically prohibits the use of public money or property from being used, directly or indirectly, for the use or benefit of any church or system of religion. Nearly 60% of Oklahoma voters rejected a proposal in 2016 to remove that language from the Constitution.A message left Friday with Rebecca Wilkinson, the executive director of the Oklahoma Statewide Virtual Charter School Board, was not immediately returned, although Wilkinson has said previously she wouldn't comment on pending litigation.A group of Oklahoma parents, faith leaders and a public education nonprofit already filed a lawsuit in district court in July seeking to stop St. Isidore from operating as a charter school in Oklahoma. That case is pending.Oklahoma's Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, who earlier this year signed a bill that would give parents public funds to send their children to private schools, including religious schools, criticized Drummond's lawsuit as a “political stunt.”“AG Drummond seems to lack any firm grasp on the constitutional principle of religious freedom and masks his disdain for the Catholics’ pursuit by obsessing over non-existent schools that don’t neatly align with his religious preference," Stitt said in a statement.Drummond defeated Stitt's hand-picked attorney general in last year's GOP primary and the two Republicans have clashed over Stitt's hostile position toward many Native American tribes in the state.The AG's lawsuit also suggests that the board's vote could put at risk more than $1 billion in federal education dollars that Oklahoma receives that require the state to comply with federal laws that prohibit a publicly funded religious school.“Not only is this an irreparable violation of our individual religious liberty, but it is an unthinkable waste of our tax dollars,” Drummond said in a statement.The National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, a nonprofit organization that supports the public charter school movement, released a statement Friday in support of Drummond's challenge.。
B | 北京8月12日电（记者 韩鹏飞）8月12日，由中国国际航空运营的北京首都往返蒙古国首都乌兰巴托航线正式使用国产大型客机C919执飞。
C | 这标志着C919正式投入国际定期商业航线运营，国产干线客机商业化运营迈出重要的国际化步伐。 据悉，国航北京首都至乌兰巴托航线航班号为CA723/CA724，采用C919常态化执飞，每日执行往返航班。去程CA723航班北京时间15时自北京首都国际机场起飞，乌兰巴托当地时间17时15分抵达乌兰巴托成吉思汗国际机场；返程CA724航班乌兰巴托当地时间18时30分起飞，北京时间20时35分返回北京。目前旅客可通过国航官方APP等正规渠道预订该航线客票。 北京至乌兰巴托航线是连接中蒙两国的重要空中通道，长期承担两国人员往来、经贸交流与文旅互通的空中运输职能。此次C919进驻这条经典国际航线，使国产大飞机从国内航线运营延伸至跨境定期客运场景，在真实国际民航运营环境中开展常态化商业载客运行。航线适中的航程，也契合C919干线客机的运营定位，有利于持续检验飞机在跨境运行、境外地面保障、跨国旅客服务等场景下的综合运行能力。 在此之前，C919稳步推进国内商业航线规模化运营，持续积累常态化载客运行经验。在国际舞台上，C919先后赴海外参与航展展示，相继亮相两届新加坡航展、一届迪拜航展，向全球民航业界直观展示我国自主研制干线客机的设计理念、乘坐体验与技术成果，不断增进国际市场对于国产大飞机的认知。但此前海外飞行以静态展示、飞行表演为主，并未开展常态化国际商业载客运营。
D | 本次北京至乌兰巴托定期航线投入运营，是C919第一次常态化开展跨国商业客运飞行，与航展展示有着本质区别。 一条国际定期商业航线的稳定运营，不仅考验客机自身性能，更对飞机运维保障、跨境运行协调、机场配套保障等完整产业链提出系统性要求。C919顺利开启国际定期航线，是国产民机产业链协同发展取得的阶段性成果，也是国内航空公司、飞机制造单位、民航管理部门多方协同保障的成果，为后续国产大飞机拓展更多国际航线积累宝贵实践样本。 中蒙两国地缘相近、交往密切，人文、经贸往来持续升温。C919执飞北京至乌兰巴托航线，在为两国出行旅客增添出行选择、提升空中出行体验的同时，也将成为展示中国制造、促进两国民间交流的空中纽带。不少旅客关注到首航信息，计划搭乘航班体验国产大飞机的跨境飞行旅程。 据了解，投入商业运营以来，C919持续优化运行表现，不断丰富航线网络布局。依托国内多条主干航线的长期运营实践，飞机运行可靠性持续提升。此次打通国际定期商业航线，搭建起国产大飞机联通境外市场的全新窗口。 随着运行经验持续沉淀，国产大飞机有望依托成熟运营表现，稳步拓展更多跨境航线。持续推进国产干线客机国际化运营，有利于完善我国民航运输供给，助力中外人员互联互通，推动民航装备领域高水平对外开放，为民航产业高质量发展注入更加持久坚实的动力。版权申明：凡注有“”或电头为“”的稿件，均为独家版权所有，未经许可不得转载或镜像；授权转载必须注明来源为“”，并保留“”的电头。 。
