Prayer at School with Ira C. Lupu

Elise and Hannah are joined by Professor Ira C. Lupu of George Washington School of Law for the fifth episode of the High School SCOTUS Podcast. With the help of Professor Lupu, we tackle the religious clauses of the First Amendment — the right to free exercise and the establishment clause — and explore how those interests clash in the schoolhouse. Specifically, we use the case study of prayer at school to understand how courts ensure the private right to pray while keeping separate religion and the government-run entity of a public school.

Cases mentioned:

Engel v. Vitale

Lee v. Weisman

Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe

Kennedy v. Bremerton School District (upcoming)
