    The “Establishment Clause” is a limitation within the United States Constitution preventing the Government from passing legislation respecting, promoting, or otherwise supporting an establishment of religion. The clause has been at the heart of many court cases that have gone through the United States Judiciary. From the first case of Bradfield v. Roberts in 1899 to the most recent case of Santa Fe Independent School Dist. v. Doe in 2000. Although some cases dealt with appropriations, many cases brought before the courts dealt with the introduction of religion and religious activities within government institutions, especially in public schools. Should local, state, or the federal government support, establish, participate in, or otherwise…

    Why is our national government a Federal Democratic Republic? Well my most simple answer for this is. We are a Federal Democratic Republic because the citizens are the ones that have the power, and the government itself is ran through elected officials. Or at least that's what we like to tell ourselves. The politics of this country work in a peculiar way, since usually the person who has the most funded campaign, is the one who wins, and the ones who tend fund a politicians campaign usually happen to be big corporations so they can call in favors later. So to some extent our elections are bought. Whoever has the most money can travel to more places, make more billboards, bumper stickers, commercials, etc. they have more resources to tell…

    One of the most highly debated aspects of American life and liberty is religion. America’s foundation is based upon the idea that religion should be a freedom and a choice of the person involved, not a requirement by the government. Yet religion is one of the very things to United States was founded on. In the last half of the 20th century, the differing opinions Americans held on religious conviction became an ongoing debate on where and when is the right time to observe one’s faith. Most notably this debate extended to the public schools. One of the most prominent cases was that of Engel v. Vitale. The court case of Engel v. Vitale became known as the School Prayer decision and was the first of its kind in the American judicial system.…

    The Constitution has the biggest say so overall. It is what keeps the church and state separated. Politics, media, school, etc. all try to include the church in something they might do, but it just simply is going against the Constitution. There have many cases where the law has “bent” the rules and allowed certain activities and had so- called reasoning. The government should not force anyone into a religious sector, this means avoiding prayer in classrooms, or favoring specific religions over others, and by not providing government funding. Is it okay to allow certain cases, but not others? Just as Carter states, “that understanding the distinction is the key to preserving the necessary separation of church and state without resorting to a philosophical rhetoric that treats religion as an inferior way for citizens to come to public…

    It started with the Cantwell v. Connecticut case and then the Everson V. Board of Education 1947. The Supreme Court applied the Establishment Clause and the courts have been reinterpreting the Constitution ever since and has regularly ruled on religious issues. As this continues to happen we get further and further away from the intended meaning of our First Amendment right and courts have been using the Fourteenth Amendment (due process) to use its authority on religious issues. This has brought up changes like no prayers at graduation, no moment of silence in schools, no religious figures/symbols on public property. Essentially the courts rule in a way that “guarantee the freedom from religion, instead of the freedom of…

    The first amendment in the US constitution states that Congress shall “make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting thereof.” A metaphoric wall has always existed between the church and state, according to Thomas Jefferson in 1947 (McCarthy, Martha).That wall has been in the center of many court cases in the Supreme Court linked to public schools. The public school setting has always been a major area of controversy concerning the separation of church and state. Albeit with some exceptions, the separation of church and state should not take place in public schools.…

    Even though we have this separation, there have been debates for decades calling for changes. This argument is strongest when it comes to the public school system. There have been controversies over prayer in schools, teaching of evolution, and displaying the Ten Comandments.In the article “Does religion have a place in public schools?” it states, “Indeed, while public schools, which are run by the government, must allow students to express their own religious views, the First Amendment prevents the schools from endorsing religion or creating an environment that forces students to participate in religious exercises.” The only schools that are exempt from government laws are private schools. They can promote any religion they wish. There…

    The United States Supreme Court justices ruled that official prayer had no reason nor place in public education buildings. The Supreme Court knew that this was taking away freedom of religion. When the law passed ruling prayer in public schools unconstitutional the Supreme Court Justices, and Government said they took prayer out because of the diversities within the schools. Supreme Court justices said "Given the incredible diversity of American society, it's important that our public schools respect the beliefs of everyone and protect parental rights. The schools can best do this by not sponsoring religious worship." With that being said the United States Government wanted to ensure that public schools welcome all children and leave religious beliefs up to them and families.…

    The struggle over religion in American schools relates back to the 1850’s, a struggle that has been through much upheaval and reform and is rooted from religious conflict brought to the United States. From the reading, Catholicism and American Freedom, by John McGreevy, I have learned where many of the problems with Protestants and Catholicism in American schools emerged. The story of Whall, in the introduction portrays the struggle of Protestant resistance that Catholicism has constantly seen during the 1800’s in America. After reading the introductory paragraph I have raised the question, should Whall be discharged for believing in Catholicism? Whether or not it was acceptable in school, Whall decided to follow his own beliefs, thus being…

    The No Prayer Essay

    The writer of the “no school prayer” is asking for a non-religious institution for kids, because in his/her opinion it would affect the atheists and kids who doesn’t believe in practicing prayers in public, that they would feel like an outsiders who are rejected and cannot socialize with other students because of their believes.. I find that the biggest issue with his/her argument is that he/she looked at the situation from one side not caring about the rest.. so religious people should practice their own believes at home only because it might affect the others, while in his/her argument he/she is asking for freedom of religion! this is a major confusion of the argument.. It’s obvious that it attack religious people calling them “cheap” and saying that religion is only causing problems and troubles to the public and it’s waste of money for the government, the tone of the speaker is actually a bit angry at the situation and it’s clear in the last paragraph.…
