The U. S. Department of Education decides to purchase textbooks for all elementary schools, including private Catholic
schools, across the country. Ms. Lemon, parent of a public
school student, thinks private Catholic schools have enough
money and that the federal government shouldn't be buying
textbooks for private schools. Ms. Lemon believes the
Department of Education's action is unconstitutional and she
wants to sue the Department in court to stop them.
Which Amendment would provide Ms. Lemon with her best
argument? State the exact language in that Amendment that
applies.
Do the facts matter here or does it only matter if the federal
government is giving books to private Catholic schools, meaning
should Ms. Lemon automatically win-why or why not?
