Tangipahoa Parish Board of Education v. Freiler — Scalia, J., dissenting

June 19, 2000530 U.S. 1251

Summary

Justice Scalia dissents from the denial of certiorari, arguing the Fifth Circuit improperly applied the Lemon test to a school board disclaimer. He maintains that the disclaimer advances freedom of thought rather than religion, distinguishing the case from invalidated creationism statutes.
