Readings on Church & State

The University of Michigan has been forced to withdraw its policy to counter harassment after legal action by a student who maintained it was unconstitutional and vague
Usa
A local law on affirmative action in Richmond, Virginia, which required government contractors to subcontract 30 per cent of the contract value to minority companies, has been held by the Supreme Court to be unconstitutional
United States
In a ruling demarcating the limits of religious freedom, a New York appellate court reversed a lower court's judgment in ruling that a high school graduation could take place on the Sabbath because the ‘right’ to attend graduation was not important enough to merit constitutional protection
United States
The Supreme Court's invalidation of a Louisiana statute which required that so‐called scientific creationsim be taught on an equal basis with the theory of evolution was greeted with euphoria in the Jewish community
United States
The Supreme Court decided that the concept of ‘race’ must be broadly defined and therefore includes Jews and Arabs who are consequently covered by Congress's anti‐discrimination legislation
United States
Two leading Jewish defence agencies were at loggerheads over the constitutionality of a statute permitting ‘religious corporations’ to discriminate on the basis of religion in all their hiring
Freedom of religion and the United States constitution
The rise to prominence of Christian fundamentalism in the USA has threatened the separation of church and state which is guaranteed in the Bill of Rights. But just as there are those who wish to see Christianity become a more dominant force in public life, others vigorously oppose any change in the status quo. Both groups have had recourse to the Supreme Court, but it is unlikely that the Court will retreat from its view that the Constitution dem…
United States
The Supreme Court unexpectedly supported a Seventh Day Adventist sacked because she refused to work on Friday evenings
United States
The Supreme Court recently gave an enthusiastic endorsement of the use of affirmative action, expanding the reach of the concept from race to sex
Race‐conscious affirmative action
A trilogy of cases decided at the conclusion of the United States Supreme Court's 1985–86 term cast further light on and, at the same time, further muddied the law on race‐conscious affirmative action
US courts decide Nazi war criminal can be extradited to Israel for trial
The legal principles which govern international extradition proceedings are highlighted in the case of John Demjanjuk, a Ukrainian SS guard at the Treblinka concentration camp, who concealed his wartime activities and became a US citizen
Individual rights and communal responsibilities
The Oregon Supreme Court decided that if a schoolteacher wears religious garb, it contravenes the religious neutrality of the school
Jews as a race
US federal statutes cast in racial terms cannot be invoked to obtain redress in cases of vandalism against Jewish institutions because the courts have ruled that Jews are not a racially distinct group
The constitutionality of statutes
Statutes enacted by US state legislatures and under consideration by the federal legislature as a means to combat antisemitism are seeing off challenges brought against them on constitutional grounds
US Supreme Court rules on silent prayer in schools
State statutes prescribing a prayer for optional use at the beginning of the school day are unconstitutional
New York autopsy law and religious concerns
Changes in New York's autopsy law meet the requirements of Orthodox Jews yet do not violate constitutional principles
Religion as occupational qualification
Discrimination in employment on the basis of religion is prohibited in the US except where it is a ‘bona fide occupational qualification’
Can American cities erect a Christmas crèche? Interpretation of the US establishment clause
The US Supreme Court decided that the city of Pawtucket could favour one religion
Seniority versus affirmative action considerations in layoff practices in the US
The Supreme Court decided that the protection of minorities is not paramount
