Re: School Prayer and Religious Instruction

2008 Legal Program - Freedom of Religion

Pending without litigation

Every year, the ACLU of Kentucky receives complaints about religious practices at public schools. The most frequent complaints involve prayer readings at school events, the distribution of religious materials at school and religious instruction at school. We consistently respond by reminding school officials that these practices violate the First Amendment’s establishment clause. Thus far, we have succeeded in convincing schools to stop or avoid their unlawful practices without litigation.
