United States Read about a case that involves movie barons, President Franklin Roosevelt, Walt Disney, Charlie Chaplin, and the Supreme Court, and changed the movie and television industry forever. May 7, 1992 – The College Term Paper That Changed the Constitution Learn about the ratification of the 27th Amendment, which starts with James Madison and ends with Gregory Watson, a college sophomore who helped it become the law of the land after 203 years. For Educators Football, Faith, and the First Amendment – Part 2 The Supreme Court recently heard oral argument in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District. The case is about Joseph Kennedy, a Christian high school football coach in Washington state who regularly prayed before games. Eventually a majority of the players joined in as well, and one player’s parent complained that he felt pressured to pray as well. Kennedy lost his job after refusing to comply with school district’s orders to stop. Nicole Garnett of Notre Dame Law School and Rachel Laser of Americans United for Separation of Church and State join host Jeffrey Rosen to discuss the case; the questions raised around the limits of free speech, free exercise of religion, and the separation of church and state in schools; and how the Court might rule based on its prior jurisprudence—from the Lemon v. Kurtzmann test to the Abington v. Schempp case—and some justices’ questioning of it. Need more background on the case? Listen to the first part of Football, Faith, and the First Amendment here.
