Freiler v. Tangipahoa Parish Board of Education
Freiler v. Tangipahoa Parish Board of Education was United States federal court case on the constitutionality of a policy requiring teachers to read aloud a disclaimer whenever they taught about evolution.
In 1987 the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in the case of ''Edwards v. Aguillard'' (482 U.S. 587) that the teaching of "creation science" constituted an establishment of religion and thus violated the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
In April 1994 the School Board of Tangipahoa, Louisiana, adopted a policy mandating that a disclaimer was to be presented before any discussion of evolutionary biology. The policy was as follows:〔(Rejection of Petition for Writ of Certiorari ), Supreme Court of the United States〕
Parents sued the school board for violating the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution and won in 1997 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.〔(Eight Significant Court Decisions ), National Center for Science Education〕 The schoolboard appealed and the decision was upheld by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on January 24, 2000.〔(Freiler v. Tangipahoa Parish Board of Education ), FindLaw〕
The schoolboard then appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, who on June 19, 2000, declined to hear the case in a 6-3 decision, thereby allowing the lower court decision to stand. Three conservative members of the Supreme Court dissented; Antonin Scalia and William Rehnquist, who had also dissented from the decision in Edwards v. Aguillard, were joined by 1991 George H.W. Bush appointee Clarence Thomas.〔
