Case of the Month August 2002 Religious Freedom in the Niqab Case
Sultaana Lakiana Myke Freeman v. State of Florida
In order to help bring a better understanding of the Bill of Rights in action, the ACLU of Florida website posts a Case of the Month. Each month, we highlight either a current case before the courts or current issues that affect civil liberties. In discussing the case, we hope to offer extensive learning materials, including lesson plans, teacher handouts, and balanced information on key legal issues, the attorneys, plaintiffs and defendants involved in the case, and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) that may be of help to teachers and students alike.
For August, we have selected a current high-profile case, Sultaana Lakiana Myke Freeman v. State of Florida, which deals with the issue of religious freedom and one woman's right to wear a Niqab face veil.
