Santa Fe School District V Doe PowerPoint Made By Jocelyn Campos

Violating The Establishment Clause Of The First Amendment "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion” So it’s wrong to establish a national religion by congress and to preference one religion over another.

Santa Fe School District This school was described as a Christian school, so a student counselor member that was a chaplain (which is a priest a pastor) decided to do a prayer before a football game.

Doe A Mormon and a Catholic student along with their mothers filed a suit saying that the prayer done at the football game was not following the Establishment Clause Of The First Amendment. They remained as “Doe’s” so the media wouldn’t harass them.

Background Of The Case In Santa Fe School District they had made policy that they had voted on being able to pray in games and that a spokesman is allowed to deliver them.

Majority Opinion The Majority Opinion was that it was not something private but a public speech. It was under the supervision

Other Court Opinions Was that the majority's opinion was "bristles with hostility to all things religious in public life".

Significance

Reflection My reflection upon this case was I thought it was stupid just to bring a lawsuit just because of a prayer being done. I mean I can understand if an atheist objected because they don’t believe in God, but a Mormon and a Catholic do. So it’s just pretty done just suing for something they do themselves.
