Question

You have a standard practice of displaying all student work in your classroom. Recently, you assigned students to write any essay and submit a pictorial depiction on the person they considered to be their hero. One of your students submitted an essay on Jesus and a drawing of the Last Supper. In a 500-750-essay, discuss any legal issues regarding the grading of your student’s essay and whether you could display the student’s work. How does the First Amendment apply to this situation? Include at least five references in your essay. At least three of the five references should cite U.S. Supreme Court cases.

The first amendment involves the freedom off free scheech and religion. Meaning that a person can not criticize or not display a person's religion based on your own beliefs or beliefs of others.

Reference possibilities could be

1. http:/guides.library.harvard .edu/

2. Your state website ie Maine.gov mass.gov

3. USA.gov is the federal law

4. Loc.gov is the library of congress

5. 6. Supremecourtus.gov and supremecourts

Gov/opinions for us Supreme Court and recent opinions

7. Law.cornell.edu/citation for legal citations for legal arguments if needed as well as taking the citation out of the address bar to use for finding the law online

8. Http.thelawdictionary.org for legal terms or the black law dictionary

Be cautious of commercial websites some that are good and can give information that is not completely accurate.

C1. Findlaw.com

C2. Lexisone.com for federal and state cases and statutes

Both are used for general information.

Good luck.
