ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESE v. CUOMO

[Anonymous]

For lawyers on the board, can the analysis in the SCOTUS decision applied in the Roman Catholic diocese case also be applied to school closures?

[Anonymous]

No. The church challenged the regulation. Schools are electing to stay closed.

Not a lawyer, but I think it would only be applicable if a state government tried to shut down religious schools while leaving secular ones open. I haven’t seen that happening anywhere.

A federal judge just struck down a portion of Kentucky Gov.'s executive order requiring private as well as public schools to halt in-person classes until early January. The judge said the order cannot apply to private, religious-based schools across the state because it infringes on their constitutional rights.

Maybe to religious schools. But not public schools/secular privates. It was a first amendment case.
