In mid-1999, a student by the name of B.J. Durham transferred schools as a result of his mother’s divorce and financial struggles. B.J. was a cross-country/track star at his previous school, Park Tudor Private High School, and was rumored to be moving for athletically-motivated reasons. Because of the hearsay, B.J. was not granted full-eligibility by the IHSAA but partial. B.J., the plaintiff in this case, was also denied access to the Hardship Exception which would’ve granted him athletic eligibility in full. B.J. and his family took their case to court. The court issued a permanent injunction against the IHSAA’s decision, to which the IHSAA later appealed. The court stood on their decision,

Levine, M. D. (1984). Reshelving the First Amendment: Board of Education, Island Trees Union Free School District No. 26 v. PICO. Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review, 17,

In summarizing the salient points of the Supreme Court case Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow, it had to do with the respondent’s father who sued candidates, including a school region, affirming that the school locale's approach requiring the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance at his little girl's school damaged the First Amendment. The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit found that the father had standing and decided for the father. Certiorari was conceded to audit the standing and First Amendment issues.

This case emphasizes the importance of the right to freedom of religion, as disallowing an individual to participate in either a citizenship ceremony, or court proceedings solely based on their religious garments is not only discrimination but prevents justice from taking its

Following with the majority opinion on this case, the Supreme Court rules that student rights were violated. Thoroughly reviewing previous cases similar to Broker v Oakwood, the Court finds a large resemblance to a case from 1969, Tinker v Des Moines. Students at the Des Moines school district protested their

- The government only tolerates religious organizations that are willing to accept strict regulations. They have to be free of foreign influence and they must accept government censorship of religious writings and guidance in the selections of clergy, and limit religious activities and

The appeal at bar challenges significant legal errors committed by the district court when it erroneously create a new category of law, and misinterpreted federal law to such an extent that it would impose significant burdens upon school districts nationwide if allowed to stand, and incorrectly applied statutory law resulting in an inaccurate finding that the Appellant did not comply with its obligations under the IDEA. The district court’s findings that K.W. is not a parentally-placed private school student and the district courts creation of a new category of private school placement for students with disabilities under the IDEA was inappropriate. In this case, Parent made clear that she did not intend to enroll K.W. in the public school system due to her preference that K.W. attend a private school. In reviewing the district court’s decision, the court erroneously determined that K.W. was not a parentally-placed private school student. This Court has been asked to establish that K.W. was a parentally-placed private school student as defined by 34 C.F.R. § 300.130.

Abernathy’s speech in the Martin high school graduation was a violation of the constitution. The lawsuit was so strongly supported that three other families with children that attended Martin High school joined the Roes in suing the school system. The three families that are supporting the lawsuit consist of a Jewish family, non-atheist family, and a family that prefers to not describe their religion. The lower court’s rulings are as follows, the United States District Court ruled in favor of WCPS. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the judgment of the District Court and found the actions of WCPS to be unconstitutional. The essential question the court is being asked to answer is whether Petitioner Western County Public Schools’ policy permitting student prayer and sectarian speech at a public high school graduation ceremony violated the Establishment

Removal of religion implies secular humanism and establishes the religion of secularism. The removal of religion is minority rule. Why should an irreligious minority dictate what the majority can do?

There are several ways how the state represent the non-official religion as the implication of the adoption of administrative plurality by the state, i.e:

respect to religion: the right to be free from government-imposed religion and a right to practice

Religion is a set of moral beliefs and values that are created through historical affiliations. It provides order and structure for the followers of that religious institution. Often times, religious teachings and holy doctrines are misinterpreted and misused towards a political organization and are used as a way to obtain submissive behaviour among persons in society. There are multiple factors that impede on the development of third world countries as these specific countries are still in the process of developing its political empire. Its economic state is known to be underdeveloped thus recognizing the country as being in the third world or developing. This is particularly directed towards Middle Eastern countries relying on the teachings of Islam that pressure their religious beliefs and values into the politics and the influence it has among the political system. This creates a barrier which disallows further success in the society, and their ability to progress towards a democratic culture becomes limited. Islamic law poses significance to the lack of democratic culture as it constitutes instruction that hinders the development and liberty of Islamic based countries. It is evident that religious regulations and democracy form a barrier known as the democracy gap. Other impediments factor in, such as the lack of political participation, and voicing opinion among women in third world countries due to societal norms that are formulated through religious laws. In this

Moreover, if one chooses to convert away from one’s birth religion to atheism, no secular law exists to administer such matters. As Justice Dickson would argue, religious freedom must not only mean the freedom to adopt and practice any faith but, must also mean freedom from religion (Charter Cases – Big M, 24/01/2011). In this case, individuals are not free from religion as they are forced to deal with religious courts. Hence, the legal structure brings complex issues to the freedom to choose not to be religious or to adopt a minority religion.
