Amen,” was led by teachers in the classroom and recited by students. A student could refrain from saying the prayer or could leave the room if the student objected to the practice. Parents of ten students brought forth the complaint and later the suit that stated the practice violated the First Amendment rights of the students, more specifically the Establishment Clause which prohibits the establishment of a government religion. In question was the constitutionality of the practice of reciting a voluntary, denominationally neutral prayer by an employee of a public school district. Teachers led the prayer after the pledge of allegiance.
Two Jehovah's Witness school children, ages 10 and 12, Lillian and William Gobitis were suspended from school for refusing to salute the American flag in Minersville, Pennsylvania. The Gobitis children were Jehovah's Witnesses; they believed that such a gesture of respect for the flag was forbidden by their religion. Their parents claimed that the children's' due process rights had been violated by the school district, they believed their children had the right to refuse to say the Pledge. In an 8-to-1 decision, the Court upheld the mandatory flag salute The Court held that the state's interest in "national cohesion" was "inferior to none in the hierarchy of legal values" and that national unity was the idea of national security. The court found that the flag was an important symbol of national unity and that school children should respect and salute
The prayer was offered to the school boards in the State for use, the participation in the prayer was voluntary. Engel v. Vitale is a famous supreme court case that started in 1962 that dealt with the voluntary prayer which was stated in schools. People though that praying to god was going against their beliefs and religion so they wanted for the prayer to be removed from the schools.In New York, the Union Free School District No. 9 directed the local principal to have the prayer said aloud by each class in the presence of a teacher at the beginning of the school day.The parents of ten pupils in the New Hyde Park schools disagreed and were upset that this prayer was being said in their children's school. They soon filed a suit in a New York State court to banned the prayer,they kept on insisting that the use of this prayer in the public schools was contrary to their own and their children's beliefs, religions, or religious practices.

The suspensions of the ten students, who brought this action, occurred during a period of widespread unrest in the Columbus public schools. Issue: Whether students may be suspended for ten days or less without due process of law. Previous History: The district court held that due process applies when students are suspended from school for ten days or less. Holding: Suspensions of ten days or less are not de minimis. Due process is required before school officials can suspend students.
Running head: ATTITUDE, LEGISLATION, AND LITIGATION Attitude, Legislation, and Litigation Tammie Johnson Grand Canyon University: SPE 226 April 1, 2012 Attitude, Legislation, and Litigation The education of students with disabilities has changed over the years. During the B.C. era students with disabilities were consider a disgrace, were shun by society, and the Greek philosopher Aristotle openly declared, “As to the exposure and rearing of children, let there be a law that no deformed child shall live“(Hardman, Drew, & Egan, 2009, p. 4) When children with disabilities were denied access from the public school system, they were taught separately from the general population and were placed in isolated special education classrooms. Through most of the history of public schools in America, services to children with disabilities were minimal and were provided at the discretion of local school districts. Until the mid 70’s, laws in most state actually allowed schools to refuse enrollment of students with disabilities; while on the other hand some students with special needs were admitted to the public school system and placed in regular classroom but did not receive the required special services, while other were served in special programs that were considered inadequate.
The class I went to contained everyone over the age of 18 and was taught by a teacher assigned by the Bishop. According to the Bishop “becoming a teacher isn’t just a job one can apply for it is a calling”. They do not get paid to teach but rather “receive inspired revelation to help them live good lives”. Today’s lesson was about kingship, which is any act or concept that takes you away from practicing religion. The teacher gave many examples and read many excerpts from the Book of Mormon Nephi chapters.
Task A In the article “Bill Nye Says Nay: ‘Science Guy’ Opposes Teaching of Creationism” the author is making an argument against the teaching of creationism in addition to evolution in public school science classes. The author identifies himself as a former public school student who has respect for other’s religious belief, but feels that they have no place in government funded schools. The author of this article, Noah Fitzgerel, is an intern for the group Americans United, an organization who is dedicated to the separation of church and state. The author refers to the teaching of creationism as “proselytizing young people” because it is based on “biblical literism” which he views as evangelism. He believes that teaching creationism is
America before the Independence America before the Independence of 1776 was different in many sides to modern America. It was different in religion, education, the way of getting food, and even farming. Education back then was really focused on religion, in the New England Colonies, parents had the mentality that their kids should learn about Christianity, and therefore taught them to read and write so they would read the Bible. New England villages having more than 100 families set up grammar schools, which taught boys Latin and math and other subjects needed to get into college. And although girls could read, they weren't allowed to go to grammar school or to college.
My cooperating teacher told me that it’s a good thing if the administration knows your name for positive things not for discipline problems you cannot take care of in your own classroom. As I have had to learn by experience and practice, classroom management is all based on judgment calls. There is no rule book for classroom management and each and every class is different. Having read this book a few months ago when EDU 511 first started I have had a lot of time to be in the classroom. In practice, there are certain behaviors that I have learned to ignore.
