Kentucky Has Some Strange Laws


Kentucky Has Some Strange Laws

      Notwithstanding that it is manifestly unconstitutional as a violation of the Establishment Clause, Kentucky has a statute, KRS § 158.170, which mandates that a portion of the Bible is to be read daily in every classroom in Kentucky’s public schools.  This statute has been unconstitutional since the 1963 decision of the United States Supreme Court in Abington School District v. Schempp, 374 U.S. 203, but it remains on the books.
