Mozert v. Hawkins
Mozert v. Hawkins (6th Cir. 1987) was a notable US Circuit Court case involving exercising first amendment rights of religion in protesting required public school reading for students in Tennessee.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work =Law School Case Briefs )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work =Encyclopedia of American Civil Liberties )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work =Leagle )〕
==Background==
Students' parents at a public school were upset about religious themes being taught in the required reading of classes. Among these were the use of telekinetic and magical powers, which offended the religious beliefs of these parents. The parents felt that they had a right to choose what their children could or could not view and learn at school and what was being taught was not approved by them.〔〔〔
The parents, under Bob Mozert, therefore brought a class action lawsuit against the Hawkins County Public School District, stating that their freedom of expression clause had been violated in these required books. The school had given them no alternative reading options for their children that could have avoided this case. The parents argued that their right to free expression was null if the state could decide whatever religious topics it could teach children. They stated the book taught their children about witchcraft and the occult, disrespect and disobedience to parents, prayer to idols, along with various secular and humanist ideas.〔〔〔
The lower court ruled in favor of Mozert and the parents and deemed that the School Board had to consider the parents' wishes in accommodating their wishes. The School Board felt this ruling was unfair and was a mistaken enactment of the free expression clause and therefore appealed the case.〔〔〔
