Supreme Court of the United States

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

June 19, 2000530 U.S. 1251

Summary

Justice Scalia dissents from denial of certiorari, arguing the Fifth Circuit erred in applying the Lemon test to strike down the school board disclaimer. He states the disclaimer advances freedom of thought rather than religion and contains no realistic danger of endorsing any particular faith. He notes his broader disapproval of the Lemon test.
