Rebecca Woodring v. Jackson County, Indiana (2020)

FFRF filed this 7th Circuit Court of Appeals brief in support of atheist plaintiff, Rebecca Woodring. This case centered around a Nativity display that was erected annually at the Jackson County, Indiana Courthouse.

FFRFā€™s brief argued that the principles of Establishment Clause jurisprudence govern Nativity scene displays and that the display was unconstitutional under the Supreme Courtā€™s Lynch and Allegheny cases. Additionally, this display created the message of exclusion and secondary status to anyone who was not Christian.
