Supreme Court Cases 3/20/14

Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow
This case was basically about saying the pledge in school and how it was an endorsement to religion within the school. The judge eventually ruled in Newdows favor. Later on though this was reversed.

Bethel School District v. Fraser
Within this case a student from a high school gave a speech, in which was beyond what the first amendment allows one to say. His school subsequently wouldn't allow him to graduate and he was kicked out of school for three days. They later ruled that the school had acted within the constitution with disciplining Fraser.

Grutter v. Bollinger
This case was about a student that didn't get admitted into a college even though having a 3.8 gpa. This student felt that she was being denied due to her race. They ruled the school did not use this with admitting there students and otherwise looked into ones background before accepting them.
