As written in the U.S. Constitution, every American citizen has the right to freedom of religion. With this being said, the government is not to regulate what religion a person does or does not practice. For any sector of public education to promote religion or student involvement with religion infringes on that first amendment right. According to Lemon v. Kutzman, government entities only serve constitutional when their actions serve a non-religious purpose or do not promote or favor any set of religious beliefs(aclu). This proves that anything concerning religion that is demonstrated by a public school is deemed unconstitutional because public schools are run by the government. In regards to the 1992 Supreme Court case
