Pаt wаs а librarian at Dell High Schооl. Pat’s respоnsibilities included monitoring students assigned to study in the library, helping students find books, buying new books for the library, putting books back on shelves, and giving students research advice on how to proceed. As part of the book buying process Pat reads books the library might acquire while she is minding her desk and monitoring students. Among the books many she read at the desk this last semester and ultimately purchased for the library were Rosaria Butterfield’s Five Lies of Our Anti-Christian Age, (2023), Jerimiah Johnston’s The Jesus Discoveries; 10 historic Finds That Bring Us Face to Face With Jesus, (2026), C.S. Lewis’ Mere Christianity, an English version of Thomas Aquinas’ Treaties on Law from the Suma Theologica, an English translation of the Quran, The Complete works of William Shakespear, Confucius’ Analects in English, an English translation of the Buddhist folk classic The Journey to the West, and an English translation of the Jewish work The Babylonian Talmud. Pat read and rejected Michel Foucault’s The History of Sexuality, making a note that she considered it inappropriate for High School students without parental permission, and that she saw no reason to spend time and money seeking permission from parents. Three anonymous students complained to the principal and the school board about these choices, as well as getting the ACLU to write a letter to the school board stating that these choices constituted a violation of the separation of church and state. The district fired Pat, citing how her choices Dell High School vulnerable to expensive litigation. Pat produced records showing that except for the two books published recently, all of the other books had been on the collections of High School library’s in 28 states between 1838 and 1959, Records were not available for the holdings of the other states, or prior to 1838 as that was when the earlies High School libraries were established in the United States, Philadelphia’s being one of the first. How would you advise Pat on whether her reading at the desk or her choices were Constitutional? What arguments can be made for Pat and Dell concerning the First Amendment’s application to Pat’s actions?
Stаte O wаnts tо оpen а pilоt daycare program for preschool children and, to that end, it submitted the project for open bids as required by State O law. The lowest bid that met the criteria established by State O was submitted by a religious organization. The organization’s bid is low, in part, because the building in which the program would be housed is tax exempt under State O law under a religious institution exemption to property taxes. The organization agreed to operate under the conditions of the project contract, including the provision prohibiting the program from being used to espouse or promote any particular religious view. Studies have shown, however, that children in such situations tend to emulate their caregivers. State O decides to award the contract to the organization.A State O citizen brings an action in a proper State O court seeking to set the award aside, claiming that it violates the United States Constitution.Is the State O citizen likely to prevail?
