The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to block Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear’s executive order halting in-person instruction at most K-12 schools, including religious schools, through the end of the year, noting that the order effectively expires this week or shortly thereafter.
Why it matters: The decision follows several cases that examined whether state coronavirus restrictions affecting religious institutions, including places of worship violate, the First Amendment.
Background: Beshear, a Democrat, signed the executive order last month.
It required most Kentucky K-12 schools, including religious schools, to move to virtual classes until at least Jan. 4. Some elementary schools not in the state s hardest-hit counties were allowed to reopen earlier this month, provided they followed state guidelines.

Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron joined a multistate coalition Wednesday in filing a lawsuit against Google for alleged monopolization in online advertising.
Google is accused of violating federal and state antitrust laws through anticompetitive conduct, exclusionary practices, and deceptive misrepresentations for its role in the multibillion-dollar online display advertising industry.
Cameron said Google’s anticompetitive and deceptive online advertising business practices “harmed consumers and businesses, and have no place in Kentucky’s marketplace.” He said they joined the lawsuit to restore free-market competition in the online display advertising industry, as well as to ensure Google complies with state and federal laws.
