| Doe v. Gossage |

|
| Legal Program - Freedom of Religion | |
United States District CourtIn May 2006, the ACLU of Kentucky filed suit in federal court on behalf of a Russell County High School senior who objected to the prayer planned for his public high school graduation ceremony. The student objected to school-sponsored prayers as an unconstitutional endorsement of religion and of specific religious views. The ACLU sought, and U.S. District Judge Joseph McKinley granted, a temporary restraining order to prevent school-sponsored prayer at the Russell County High School graduation ceremony. The decision relied upon Supreme Court precedent that graduation is a milestone event for many students, whose celebration of their academic success should not hinge on school officials’ promotion of religious views. |
