A federal court dismissed a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) challenging a Harlan County, Ky., school display of historical documents that includes the Ten Commandments. The lawsuit later was attached to two cases involving the same display in two courthouses.
A federal district court dismissed the Harlan County case. Liberty Counsel Founder Mat Staver said the dismissal is the latest defeat for the ACLU.
"Since 2005, the ACLU has lost one Ten Commandments case after another," he said, "and I think it's only logical and consistent that as part of our American history we are able to display the Ten Commandments as a universal symbol of law in a court of law or other public places around America."
Staver vows that his group will continue to fight to preserve that great religious heritage.
