Answer 2

In Westside Community Schools v. 'Mergens', the 'Supreme Court' ruled in 'favor of the Students', stating that it was a 'violation of First Amendment rights'

EXPLANATION:

• The Westside High School administration had refused to give consent to a group of students to set up a Christian club with the same meeting terms and privilege as other after-school student clubs at Westside. Besides quoting the 'Establishment Clause', Westside High School administration denied the club's establishment since it did not have a faculty sponsor.
• When the school administration had upheld the management's denial, Mergens and many other students filed a legal suit against the school. The students claimed that Westside's denial infringed the 'Equal Access Act' that necessitates that schools receiving 'federal funds offer provide equal access' to 'student groups seeking' to convey philosophical, political, religious, or other content messages.
• However, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of the students and this court case had invoked the use of the First Amendment's Establishment Clause.
