Dr. William Allan Kritsonis - Religion in the Schools, PPT.
The document discusses the legal framework around religion in schools established by the First Amendment and subsequent Supreme Court rulings. It outlines guidelines from the Lemon Test that determine if a law or practice involving religion is constitutional. Key issues addressed include school prayer, teaching of creationism, religious expression of students and teachers, and inclusion of religious elements in programs and ceremonies. The document notes the complexity of balancing religious free expression with the separation of church and state in public schools.
Religion In Schools
This document summarizes the legal framework around religion in public schools according to court rulings and legislation. It discusses key Supreme Court cases that established religion cannot be established by law and there must be separation of church and state, but that individuals have the right to free exercise of religion. It also examines contemporary issues in Texas schools around topics like school prayer, wearing religious symbols, and student religious groups having equal access to facilities. The goal across rulings is for schools to maintain religious neutrality while protecting individual religious freedom and expression.

Project Case Briefs - Freedom of Religion - Due Process - Freedom of Express...
This case involved a challenge to a school district's policy of including prayers led by clergy at middle school graduation ceremonies. A rabbi was invited to deliver prayers at a graduation ceremony according to the school district's guidelines. A student's father sued, arguing this violated the Establishment Clause. The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that including clergy-led prayers at public school graduations is unconstitutional, as it places public school students in a position of participating in a state-sponsored religious exercise. While the government can acknowledge religion, it cannot coerce participation in religious activities. This established limits on prayer and religious exercises in public schools.

Case Study Hubbard V[1]
The document summarizes a court case involving a school district's policy requiring students transferring from a non-accredited private religious school to pass proficiency tests to receive academic credits. Sarah Hubbard and her parents sued the school district claiming the policy violated their religious freedom and equal protection rights. However, the court found the policy did not discriminate and was rationally related to the legitimate interest of validating credits. The court upheld the school district's policy and academic authority. Pending state legislation could impact school districts' authority over academic and religious matters.
Prayer in public schools
School prayer in public schools is banned by the First Amendment's Establishment Clause which prohibits the government establishment of religion. While some argue prayer provides benefits, others argue it coercively influences impressionable students and interferes with religious freedom. An amendment was proposed to allow school prayer but failed as it would undermine the First Amendment by allowing coercion of student prayer. A reasonable middle ground allows for student-led moments of silence or reflection if desired for prayer. The document questions if lack of prayer in schools relates to social issues but does not take a stance.

Swanson Vs Guthrie
This case involves a homeschooled student, Annie Swanson, whose parents wanted her to take some classes, like foreign language and science, at the local public school. The school district had a policy that students must attend full-time. When the new superintendent took over, he refused to let Annie attend part-time. Her parents sued alleging constitutional violations. The court sided with the school district, finding that parents do not have a constitutional right to pick and choose which classes their children take at public schools. The district has discretion over curriculum and resource allocation.
Prayer In Public Schools
This document discusses the ongoing debate around prayer in public schools and whether it violates the First Amendment. It provides background on key court cases such as Engel v. Vitale in 1962 that examined prayer in schools. While religion is governed by the First Amendment, courts have ruled schools must remain neutral toward religion. As a result, treatment of prayer differs between public and private schools. How this impacts students, teachers and schools remains an ongoing conversation, as individuals regularly challenge related cases in the Supreme Court.

Pierce V Society Of Sister Case Summary
The document summarizes a U.S. Supreme Court case, Pierce v. Society of Sisters, which established that parents have a constitutional right to choose where their children are educated. Specifically:
- In 1922, Oregon passed a law requiring all children to attend public schools, aiming to create a common American culture. This threatened private and parochial schools.
- The Society of Sisters, which ran Catholic schools, sued claiming this violated parental rights.
- The Supreme Court ruled the Oregon law unreasonably interfered with the liberty of parents to direct their children's upbringing and education. This established the precedent that parents have a right to choose private or home schools instead of public schools
Release time education
The document examines released time education programs in U.S. public schools. It provides background on the history and legal foundations of these programs, which allow students to leave school for religious instruction with parental permission. While upheld by the Supreme Court under certain conditions, critics argue these programs promote particular religious viewpoints, are divisive, and exert pressure on students. The conclusion cites a Bible passage about making disciples of all nations.

Prayer in schools
This document discusses the issue of prayer in public schools. It notes that while prayer is allowed and protected as free speech, requiring prayer such as with Christian prayers each day could make some students who do not follow Christianity feel forced into practicing a religion they do not follow. The document reviews several court rulings around prayer in schools from the 1940s to today and examines the debate around the place of religious expression and prayer in public schools.
AndersonFinalProject_Home Schooling
The document discusses the issue of parental rights regarding home schooling. It outlines John Locke's argument that education is primarily a parental right rather than a state right. The US Supreme Court has upheld the basic parental right to educate children at home. However, some court cases created confusion about this right. Ultimately, the Supreme Court has ruled that states cannot infringe on parental religious convictions regarding education. The document argues that home schooling allows families to instill virtues and morality while public schools face issues like bullying. It also discusses home schooling practices in Australia related to rural isolation.

Regular Student Disipline Explusion And Suspension
This document provides guidance for school administrators on student discipline, suspension, and expulsion. It outlines key Supreme Court cases that established students' due process rights in disciplinary procedures. Administrators must follow district codes of conduct, which allow for teacher-initiated removal from class, short-term suspension, and expulsion only for serious offenses. Corporal punishment is generally not recommended due to legal risks, though state laws may permit it. Overall, the document stresses the importance of due process and knowing district policies regarding discipline.
Greene article
This study investigated the academic achievement of low-achieving kindergarten students enrolled in an extended day enrichment program compared to those not enrolled. The study found that while students in the enrichment program scored higher on vocabulary, listening, language, math, and word analysis tests on average, the difference was not statistically significant. However, the researchers concluded that the additional instructional time provided by the enrichment program appeared to be helpful for students, as it may have contributed to their slightly higher scores. The purpose of extended day programs is to provide extra support to low-achieving students to help increase their academic performance.
Chapter 1[1] Dr. Kritsonis
This document discusses developing an effective elementary reading program. It emphasizes that reading is essential for students' success and the teacher's primary role is to help students reach their reading potential. Several key aspects of a successful reading program are covered, including evaluating different programs, understanding reading skills for each grade, grouping students appropriately, addressing individual strengths and weaknesses, and creating a classroom environment that promotes reading. Special challenges like students with difficulties are also addressed.

This article summarizes a study that investigated parents' perceptions and reasons for denying bilingual education services for their children. The study found that parents lacked information about bilingual programs and associated English proficiency with learning. Most parents believed their children should learn English to get ahead. While parents were generally proficient in Spanish, they did not view Spanish literacy as important. The study had limitations as the small sample size prevented generalizing findings. It highlighted a need for more research on how to better inform parents about bilingual programs.

This article summarizes a study that used a Delphi panel of homeland security experts to design an undergraduate program in homeland security. The panel identified key content areas and subjects that should be included in such a program. They identified 8 major content areas as most important: security issues, emergency management, risk management, threat analysis, technology, introduction to homeland security, fusion/intelligence, and training and development. Within these areas, the panel identified 23 subjects as essential to the program, which were later narrowed down to 13 core subjects that experts agreed should make up the curriculum of an undergraduate homeland security degree.

Lunenburg, fred c[1]. state aid to private schools focus v4 n1 2010
The document summarizes the history of state aid to private schools in the United States regarding the separation of church and state. It discusses key Supreme Court cases that have shifted from preventing public funds from going to religious schools to now allowing it. The crumbling of the separation of church and state is based on Chief Justice Rehnquist's view that the Establishment Clause prohibits a national religion but not government aid to religion. As a result, public funds can now go to religious schools as long as no single religion is preferred.

This article summarizes a study that investigated parents' perceptions and reasons for denying bilingual education services for their children. The study found that parents lacked information about bilingual programs and associated English proficiency with learning. Most parents believed their children should learn English to get ahead. While parents were generally proficient in Spanish, they did not view Spanish literacy as important. The study had limitations as the small sample size prevented generalizing findings. It highlighted a need for more research on how to better inform parents about bilingual programs.

This article summarizes a study that used a Delphi panel of homeland security experts to design an undergraduate program in homeland security. The panel identified key content areas and subjects that should be included in such a program. They identified 8 major content areas as most important: security issues, emergency management, risk management, threat analysis, technology, introduction to homeland security, fusion/intelligence, and training and development. Within these areas, the panel identified 23 subjects as essential to the program, which were later narrowed down to 13 core subjects that experts agreed should make up the curriculum of an undergraduate homeland security degree.

Lunenburg, fred c[1]. state aid to private schools focus v4 n1 2010
The document summarizes the history of state aid to private schools in the United States regarding the separation of church and state. It discusses key Supreme Court cases that have shifted from preventing public funds from going to religious schools to now allowing it. The crumbling of the separation of church and state is based on Chief Justice Rehnquist's view that the Establishment Clause prohibits a national religion but not government aid to religion. As a result, public funds can now go to religious schools as long as no single religion is preferred.

RELIGION IN
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OVERVIEW – A COMPLEX ISSUE
The issue of the proper role of religion in the public schools continues to be the subject of great
controversy. School officials, parents and students -- as well as lawyers and judges -- wrestle with
these questions every day. However, clear standards and guidance are elusive. This handbook will
help provide a roadmap through this terrain.
It is important to bear in mind that this issue is extremely complex. Decision makers must address
many competing demands, invariably looking to balance the constitutional mandates of separation
of church and state and the right to freely exercise religion, as well as freedom of speech. They
must include in their thinking the needs and rights of both the religious and the non-religious.
Furthermore, decision makers must strive towards a vision of a pluralistic America that is open
and welcoming to all groups, including religious minorities.
This subject matter area, while complex, does not have to be divisive. School districts should set
forth clear policies regarding religion in the public schools that satisfy both the letter and the
spirit of the First Amendment. Parents should become involved in the process of discussing these
policies with educators, and approach difficulties with an understanding that mistakes and
misinformation, not malice, underlie a great many of the problems which typically arise in this
area.
Addressing these concerns with civility does not mean that those involved should understate the
importance of these issues, nor should they shy away from insisting that their concerns are heard
and addressed. Rather, all of us should recognize that although we may define it differently, our
common goal is to ensure that the vision of religious liberty upon which this nation was founded is
preserved. Few Americans would disagree that our individual religious freedom is extremely
precious and that no one should be subjected to inappropriate religious coercion.
The Anti-Defamation League has been fighting anti-Semitism, racism and bigotry since 1913. To
that end, we have been fighting for the religious liberty rights of all Americans – whether in the
minority or majority - to practice their religions freely and without government interference. As a
result, we have developed an expertise in this area. We encourage you to reach out to your local
Anti-Defamation League Regional Office any time you think we can be of assistance.

10/2/2022Prayer in School: Religion as A Cultural Identifier
Prayer in schools is a controversial topic in K-12 education due to the polarizing nature of the debate for and against. The reasons that prayer is controversial is because of religious rights and the use of time in schools. Human rights and religious freedom has been a part of the conversation since schools first opened in the United States. America was founded on religious freedom and to get away from what our forefather’s thought were tyrannical practices by the King of England. It had something more to do with the pursuit of happiness. No one wanted others telling them what to believe and how to practice their religion in home nor school. If prayer were included as part of school, there could be a fear of others telling the public’s children what faith to practice. Time is also an important comm ...

This document summarizes a study that explored teacher perceptions of the role of religion in public schools. It provides background on the legal issues surrounding religion in schools, noting confusion and lack of teacher understanding. The purpose of the study was to interview teachers to understand their perceptions and determine if they align with laws and policies. The literature review found that many teachers are ignorant of or fearful about laws regarding religion. While some argue religion should be included to promote tolerance, others fear it could promote certain religious views. The study aimed to gain insight into teacher awareness to help schools avoid legal issues regarding religious rights.

The document provides guidance on religion in public schools. It discusses several issues including voluntary student prayer, student-initiated classroom prayer, student proselytization, religious content in homework, religious exemptions, religious books in curriculum, religious holiday observances, and student garb/religious symbols. The general principles are that students have rights to religious expression as long as it does not endorse or promote religion or substantially disrupt school activities. School policies must be neutral towards religion.

School Law One
Public schools fall under state control according to the 10th Amendment. States have police power over education and set curriculum standards, while school boards are the local policy-making entities. Teachers are in a contractual relationship with school boards and must follow their policies. Students have constitutional rights to freedom of expression, protest, limited censorship, and due process. Schools aim to provide a safe environment and have policies against violence, bullying, and gangs, enforcing discipline fairly while respecting students' rights. Parents and students have rights regarding access and privacy of educational records.
Ap Chp 4 Liberties And Religion
The document discusses civil liberties and freedom of religion in the United States over time. It covers key Supreme Court cases related to the incorporation of the Bill of Rights, establishment versus free exercise of religion, and school prayer. The Lemon Test establishes three prongs for determining whether government action violates the establishment clause by advancing or inhibiting religion. School-sponsored prayer constitutes an establishment of religion, while student-led prayer is allowed if not school-sanctioned. The free exercise clause protects private religious practices but not those that conflict with other rights.

Editor's Notes
- The Supreme Court did not rule on the case because the father was not the custodial parent and the mother did not oppose the pledge.
- Participation of school staff may be deemed as an unconstitutional endorsement of religion. Employees are not required to leave the room when students pray on their own
- Court has ruled in some cases against silent meditation because the word prayer appears as part of the process. Feel it is the intent to restore prayer into the public school system.
