Description
At issue here is the extent to which a student can compel a public school to award him academic credit for course work completed in a religious home study program, when state law allows the public school to require students to pass examinations before receiving credit for courses studied at home. Brian Vandiver and his parents, Ronald and Kathy Vandiver, allege that the Hardin County Board of Education and various public school officials improperly required Brian to pass equivalency exams in order to gain credit for his religious home study program, thereby allegedly violating the Vandivers' constitutional rights under the free exercise, due process and equal protection clauses of the U.S. Constitution. The Vandivers brought suit under 42 U.S.C. sections 1983 and 1985 for declaratory, injunctive and monetary relief. Their complaint also included pendent state law claims under the religious liberty clause of the Kentucky Constitution, section 5. Following hearings on the preliminary injunction and on the merits, the district court ruled against the plaintiffs on each of their federal claims and granted the defendants' motion to dismiss the action.
