Concerned that its school-age children are falling behind those elsewhere in the United States and in the world, the State of Ames has passed legislation providing funding for updating science labs and for hiring experienced science teachers in both public and private schools. Opponents noted that 90 percent of private schools in Ames are sectarian schools, and that including those schools would violate the Establishment Clause. The amended bill passed and was immediately challenged in federal court by a civil liberties group as unconstitutional. A reviewing court would likely: Group of answer choices Uphold the lab equipment, but invalidate the provision for funding teachers' positions, because paying teachers would result in excessive entanglement. Invalidate the statute, because, in effect, it benefits religious schools only. Invalidate the statute, because it results in the state's excessive entanglement with religion. Uphold the bill, because it is part of a general scheme of aid offered to both public and private schools
