...and I need to do further research. I can't name the case, but SCOTUS recently had a ruling that requires cases be brought individually re constitutionality of cases like this and like the 10 Commandments being posted in classrooms. Even though the court ruled mandating the 10 Commandments to be posted, my daughter's school still has them posted because her district was not part of the suit. Someone will have to bring a suit in her district to have them removed. This sounds totally F-ed up to me, but I haven't done the research. I am certain someone will file against the state board of education's most recent mandate of teaching the Bible, but it won't be her district.
