multiple choice 2.5 points
frank is a student at south side high school. he is very religious and wishes to start a christian religious club at his school. the court case upholds frank’s right to create a religious club at school?

• epperson v. arkansas

• engel v. vitale

• board of education of westside community schools v. mergens

• tinker v. des moines

Explanation:

The case "Board of Education of Westside Community Schools v. Mergens" dealt with students' rights to form religious clubs in public schools under the Equal Access Act. The other cases: "Epperson v. Arkansas" was about teaching evolution, "Engel v. Vitale" about school prayer, and "Tinker v. Des Moines" about student speech/expression (wearing armbands). So this case upholds the right to create a religious club.

Answer:

Board of Education of Westside Community Schools v. Mergens
