Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A public high school enacted a policy requiring all students to attend a mid-week assembly featuring inspirational talks by local community leaders. A student who practices a religion that prohibits attending gatherings during that time of the week due to religious observances refused to attend and was suspended for non-compliance. The student sued the school district, claiming the policy violated her constitutional rights. What is the most likely constitutional argument the student would use under the Free Exercise Clause?

  • The policy violates the Establishment Clause by endorsing a particular type of religious practice.

  • The policy violates the Free Exercise Clause as it substantially burdens the student's religious practice without a compelling justification.

  • The policy violates the student's freedom of speech by compelling attendance at assemblies.

  • The policy violates the Due Process Clause as it deprives the student of her right to education without fair notice.
