Constitution Assignment In today’s generation, it is no surprise that everyone has their own religious beliefs. As we probably know America is a melting pot of different diversities. We have so many people that came from different countries and backgrounds. Everyone has different beliefs.

Overall, this case is complicated and I am glad that I was not that one deciding it, but just to answer the question I would probably have made the same decision as the justices.
