Packet 7: Bonus 16
In the 1990s, The German Constitutional Court controversially declared that a local requirement to display a cross in these places violated freedom of religion in the “Bavarian Crucifix Cases.” For 10 points each:
[10e] Name these places. Under U.S. Supreme Court precedent, these places cannot mandate prayers pursuant to Engel v. Vitale (“vih-TAH-lee”).
ANSWER: schools [or school districts; or classrooms; accept more specific types of schools like public schools or kindergartens; colleges, or universities]
[10m] Under the Canadian Charter, schools must provide this two-word phrase to students’ religious obligations. Under the ADA, a person with disabilities must receive this two-word concept unless it causes “undue hardship.”
ANSWER: reasonable accommodation [ou l’accommodement raisonnable chez Québec] (Technically, “reasonable accommodation” is a judicial interpretation of the Charter’s requirements)
[10h] In Lautsi v. Italy, the European Court of Human Rights allowed classroom crosses under this doctrine, which allows small deviations from human rights charters out of respect for political autonomy and cultural traditions.
ANSWER: margin of appreciation doctrine [or margin of discretion; or margin of state discretion; or marge d’appréciation]
