Doe v. Harlan County School District Print E-mail
2008 Legal Program - Freedom of Religion

United States District Court

On behalf of a student and family, the ACLU of Kentucky challenged the Harlan County School District’s posting of the Ten Commandments in each classroom. The display and litigation’s history are identical to those in McCreary and Pulaski counties. The three cases were consolidated in the trial and appeals courts (but not at the U.S. Supreme Court).  After deciding the county cases, the Supreme Court denied review of the Harlan County case, thus leaving in place the lower court injunction prohibiting the schools’ Ten Commandments display.  The case then returned to the trial court for further proceedings.  Unfortunately, the student no longer is in the Harlan County school system, we have no other plaintiff who currently attends the schools, and the case thus has become moot.
