First Amendment to the
U.S. Constitution Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the

for a redress of grievances.
Scenario H:
In public schools across the country, clergy members are invited to offer prayers as part
of the schools' graduation ceremonies. The father of one student sought an injunction
barring the school system from continuing this practice.
Does the first amendment support the father's
right to prevent such prayers? YES NO
