A new religion and custody case

[Ed Brayton]

With a bit of a spin. A father in Kentucky is arguing in court that a
custody ruling requiring that his son continue to go to Catholic school is
unconstitutional under the KY constitution. Section 5 of that constitution
says:

 

"Nor shall any man be compelled to send his child to any school to which he
may be conscientiously opposed."

 

Very interesting case. The mother apparently wants the child to go to
Catholic school, so it would seem that the constitutional argument would
apply to both sides.
