Libraries, Religion, and the Supremes???

The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has declined to revisit the question of church services in library meeting rooms (see my earlier post here), and the case is being appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Will it actually go before the high court?  Depends on whether the justices feel that there are issues in this case that they need to review.  This could turn into a defining case for the limits and freedoms of religious expression in government facilities; or they can let the ruling stand as is.

You can find the full text of the ruling here (in Pdf format).  The library’s meeting room policy can be found here (also in Pdf).
