Segment #2 - Freedom of Religion
ii. Lemon Test: From Lemon v Kurtzman (1971): All laws concerning religion must pass these three ideals if considered constitutional: 1) The statute must have a secular legislative purpose. (also known as the Purpose Prong) 2)The principal or primary effect of the statute must not advance nor inhibit religious practice (also known as the Effect Prong) 3) The statute must not result in an "excessive government entanglement" with religious affairs. (also known as the Entanglement Prong) iii. Lemon Test has been used to stop unconstitutional practices in the following ways: a. No government imposed mandatory prayers in school b. Prayers at public school graduation ceremonies c. No student led mandatory prayers at sporting events d. Government cannot ban certain groups from using public university of public schools buildings for religious worship or for group gatherings. e. Public universities cannot withhold funds from student groups based on religious orientation A couple of pre-international law pieces: League of Nations- 1918- President Wilson- religious freedom and non-discrimination (not for racial minorities).
