Elmbrook School District v. Doe
Petition for certiorari denied on June 16, 2014.
Issue
(1) Whether the Establishment Clause prohibits the government from conducting public functions such as high school graduation exercises in a church building, where the function has no religious content and the government selected the venue for reasons of secular convenience; (2) whether the government "coerces" religious activity in violation of Lee v. Weisman and Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe where there is no pressure to engage in a religious practice or activity, but merely exposure to religious symbols; and (3) whether the government "endorses" religion when it engages in a religion-neutral action that incidentally exposes citizens to a private religious message.
