Apentix/Ap United States Government/Unit 3: Civil Liberties and Civil Rights/Question

Ap United States Governmenthardmcq1 pt

A public high school allows student-led religious groups to use school facilities after hours, provided the school does not sponsor the activities. A student sues, claiming this violates the Establishment Clause. How would the Supreme Court likely rule based on precedent such as the Equal Access Act and Board of Education v. Mergens (1990)?

Explanation

Core Concept

This is correct. In Mergens, the Court upheld the Equal Access Act, ruling that allowing religious groups the same access as secular groups does not violate the Establishment Clause as long as the school is merely providing a neutral forum and not sponsoring the group.
