Pending without litigation. Every year, the ACLU of Kentucky receives multiple complaints of religious practices at public schools around the Commonwealth including the reading of prayers at school and at school events such as graduation ceremonies, the distribution of religious materials at school, and religious instruction at school. We have responded in each case by reminding school officials that these practices violate the First Amendment’s establishment clause. Thus far, we have been successful at convincing schools to drop prayer practices and religious instruction, and we have convinced schools to either drop their policy of allowing religious materials to be distributed at school or to allow others to similarly distribute their literature to students on school property.
