Can You Start a Bible Study Club at School? | Westside Community Board of Education v. Mergens

The video discusses the case of Westside Community Board of Education v. Mergens, where students at Westside High School wanted to form a Christian Bible study club. Initially denied by the school, the students argued this violated the Equal Access Act and their First Amendment rights. The case went through various courts, ultimately reaching the Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of the students. The decision upheld the Equal Access Act, allowing religious clubs to meet on school grounds during non-instructional time, as long as it did not imply state sponsorship of religion.
