Our client is Oak Hill Public School District, located in the State of Anywhere. Education Code section 1442 in the State of Anywhere provides that all school districts in the state must authorize a period of time during the school day for the recitation of the pledge of allegiance. It further provides that student participation in the recitation of the pledge is voluntary; students who do not participate may silently stand or remain seated. The District was sued in federal court last year by Stephen and Judith Osborn, parents of two children who attend elementary school in the District. The Osborns are atheists who contend that the statute violates the First Amendment's Establishment Clause because the pledge of allegiance includes the words "under God." As the paralegal, a court brief (or memorandum of law) should be prepared in support of a motion for summary judgment that will persuade the U.S. District Court for the Anywhere District that the statute and the recitation of the pledge do not violate the First Amendment. The Anywhere District has no cases interpreting the Education Code provision. Therefore, do not restrict your research to the law of any one district or circuit. current Bluebook citation form be followed.
