Question

explain how the facts of santa fe independent school district v. doe and engel v. vitale led to a similar holding in both cases

Answer 1

Answer:

Because the prayer was addressed through the loudspeaker which led to a similar holding in both cases and it was on the government's property

It was against the constitution (amendment 1, bill of rights)

Answer 2

It is legal to transport pupils attending religious schools by bus. Children were transported to a Catholic school by allowing Township's school vehicles with the approval of the school board.

• The school's loudspeaker system may not be used for student-led, student-initiated worship.
• Students at a Texas high school chose one of their peers to address players and spectators before football games.
• The majority of these speeches included an invocation and were delivered over the school's loudspeakers.
• It was optional to attend these activities.
• Three pupils filed a lawsuit against the school, claiming that the establishment clause of the First Amendment was broken by the prayers.
• The majority of the Court rejected the school's claim that the prayer did not violate the First Amendment because it was student-led and initiated rather than being sponsored by the school.
• The loudspeakers the students used for their invocations belonged to the school, so the court determined that this activity qualified as school-sponsored worship.
