Question

Which of the following cases best demonstrates the U.S Supreme Court’s position on the "separation of church and state"? Select one: a. A teacher is very upset when a Jewish child begins to say a Hebrew prayer in the cafeteria before he eats. The student explains that observant Jews are instructed to say such prayers before eating, and he offers to say the prayer quietly. The teacher points out that in a public school such religious demonstrations are not acceptable and instructs him to save his prayers for home. b. A teacher decides to offer a course on the Bible as literature. She makes an extra effort not to promote or discount the religious beliefs in the book. Several students object and say that they do not want this course taught. She teaches the course anyway. c. The principal announces that specific Christian, Jewish, or Muslim prayers will not be given over the school public address system each morning, since such prayers violate the Supreme Court decision on prohibiting specific religious prayer in school. Instead, a sectarian or nondenominational prayer will be said each morning so that all students feel included. d. A teacher decides to offer a course on Christianity. She points out that most students in the school are Christian, but do not get an "adequate" Christian education at home. Her desire is to supplement that instruction and promote moral citizens. The community and the parents are all very supportive.
