    Elk Grove V. Newdow Legal Brief

    In 1954, Congress amended Title 36 of the United States Code by adding “under God” to the Pledge of Allegiance. California Education Code section 52720 requires appropriate patriotic exercises to be practiced in every public elementary school every day. Elk Grove Unified School District’s policy required the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance every day pursuant to section 52720 of the California Education Code. Michael A. Newdow’s daughter attended a public school in the Elk Grove Unified School District in California. Each day, teachers at the school led the students in a voluntary recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, which included the words “under God.” Newdow, being an atheist and divorced with “shared physical custody” of his daughter, challenged the constitutionality of Elk Grove Unified School District’s requirement that teachers lead their classes in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. Newdow filed suit in federal district court in California claiming that Elk Grove’s recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance violated the 1st Amendment Establishment Clause to the Constitution due to the words “under God” being included and thus, his daughter was being subjected to religious indoctrination. The district court dismissed Newdow’s claim on the ground that he lacked legal standing because he was divorced from Sandra Banning, the mother of his daughter, and that he did not have legal custody of his daughter. The Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the lower court’s ruling, deciding that Newdow did have holding as a parent to sue and that the school district’s policy violated the establishment clause. The school district appealed the decision to the Supreme Court, which granted review.…

    Engel Vs. Vitale And Abington V. Schempp

    The education of the nation’s youth has always been a contentious issue. One of the largest issues facing the education system is the integration of sectarian religions such as prayers into the classroom and other extensions of the education system. In the mid to late 1900s, several court cases went before the Supreme Court involving various aspects of state sponsored prayers. The two major cases involving prayers in schools were Engel v. Vitale and Abington v. Schempp. Within these two cases, the Court successfully and diligently balanced the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause and paved the way for the Lemon Test and Endorsement Test.…

It was ruled unethical under the first amendment because of freedom of religion. This case is important because it’s a precedent for separation of church and state being that education falls under state. I am interested in this case because I went to a catholic school where prayer was required as a part of the curriculum and I’m interested in the rules in the public school system. (Engal V.

    The First Amendment: Should Religion Be Taught In Public Schools

    Over seventy-six percent of the adolescents in America believe in a personal God (Regnerus). Despite this fact, the stigma surrounding the debate of separating school from religion mostly brings religious talk in education to a stand-still. Religion has presented itself in society for as long as history has recorded life in societies, and many individuals still practice their faith. In today’s society, however, teachers and educators rarely mention religion outside of Social Studies classes in public school systems. Yet, science has proven that allowing religion in lives affects and improves the quality of life. Public schools should allow religion because the presence increases test scores, results in better behavior, and leads to an overall happier life.…

    The Influence Of Christianity In Public Schools

    Christianity, the religion that once directly influenced many if not all aspects of American life, is dying. Over the last fifty years, we have seen it loose its influence on our daily lives, and how we govern and educate the people in our society. In 1963, the ruling of Abington Township School District v. Schempp banned organized prayer and Bible study in our public schools. From that moment forward, kids in America have been taught in secular fashion for the majority of the week in our public school system, which has influenced their minds and their behavior more than the church has, because they spend more time in secular schools than at church. This has led to a lessened reverence for the American Church and to the zealous appeal of Christianity.…

Guggisberg, 1988, p.2) (MENG Xianxia/Cross-cultural Communication Vol. 7 No. 2, 2011, p. 232). Although religion has been a heated topic since the beginning of mankind, we cannot deny the influence it has had in educational institutions through the development of all civilizations. The role of religion in public education is not limited to America alone. Religion and Education are directly related to the development of all societies and cultures. In this paper, I will discuss and explain the influence of religion and education on societies since the beginning of mankind. 1) Religion deals with almost all aspects of human life. 2) History cannot be taught in education without the mention of religious influences on civilizations. 3) The role of religion in public education is not limited to America alone, since the beginning of mankind every civilization has shown some type of evolution within their religious and educational institutions.
