Religion in Schools – The New York Times

Religion in Schools – The New York Times
SHARE

The Supreme Court has been at the center of several significant religion cases recently, with a particular focus on the relationship between the government and faith. In a recent argument regarding a Catholic charter school in Oklahoma, the justices’ questioning indicated a likelihood of favoring the side advocating for religious freedom in all three cases.

This trend reflects a broader pattern of success for religious groups at the Supreme Court in recent years. Since 2012, the pro-religion side has prevailed in all but one of 16 First Amendment cases related to the government’s interaction with faith. The court has been particularly active in cases involving religious education, ruling that if the government supports private schools, it cannot exclude religious institutions. Additionally, religious schools have been granted exemptions from anti-discrimination laws, and there have been discussions about allowing parents to withdraw their children from certain educational topics based on religious objections.

A study conducted in 2021 found that since Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court in 2005, the Roberts court has ruled in favor of religious individuals and groups over 83% of the time, compared to about 50% for other courts since 1953. The study noted that mainstream Christian organizations have been the primary beneficiaries of these pro-religion outcomes, marking a shift from previous rulings that favored minority or marginal religious groups.

The use of school vouchers, which allow taxpayer funds to be used for private school tuition or homeschooling supplies, has also contributed to the growth of religious education in the United States. Voucher programs have expanded in Republican-led states, with more than half of states now offering such programs. The Supreme Court upheld the use of vouchers for religious schools in a 2002 case, leading to a surge in their adoption, especially during the pandemic.

In addition to vouchers, some states are exploring other ways to incorporate religion into public schools. Oklahoma, for example, is considering placing Bibles in classrooms, while Louisiana is embroiled in a legal battle to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom. Texas is also contemplating similar initiatives to promote religious values in schools.

State lawmakers advocating for increased religious influence in public education often cite recent Supreme Court decisions that have favored religious freedom, such as a 2022 ruling in support of a football coach who prayed at the 50-yard line after games. These decisions have emboldened lawmakers to propose legislation promoting prayer in schools, challenging the notion of separation of church and state.

Overall, the intersection of religion and education continues to be a contentious issue, with the Supreme Court playing a pivotal role in shaping the legal landscape surrounding religious freedom in the United States.
