Doe v. Harlan County School District Print E-mail
Sunday, August 20, 2006, 11:35 am
Supreme Court of the United States. On behalf of the family of a student, the ACLU of Kentucky filed suit against the Harlan County School District as a consequence of the District’s posting of the Ten Commandments on school property. The history of the display and litigation are identical to the cases in the McCreary and Pulaski county courthouses. In both the trial and appeals courts, the Harlan, McCreary, and Pulaski cases were consolidated. When asking the U.S. Supreme Court to accept review, the Harlan County School District filed a writ of certiorari separate from McCreary and Pulaski counties. On June 28, 2005, after issuing the decision in the McCreary and Pulaski case, the Supreme Court denied review of the Harlan County case. Thus, the decision of the Sixth Circuit affirming the preliminary injunction against the school display stands.
