Summary: Black Protestant children challenged city’s scheme for assignment of children to foster care, claiming a violation of their religious liberty rights because Protestant children generally waited longer for placement, tended to be placed in inferior agencies compared with better-funded Catholic and Jewish agencies, and were chilled in exercise of their own religion when placed in Catholic and Jewish agencies; however, in this decision, the court addresses only objections to a class settlement by religiously-affiliated foster care agencies contending that a new first-come-first-served approach would violate the free exercise rights of parents and that, secondarily, that a proposed settlement would involve an undue entanglement between the city and religious agencies in violation of the Establishment Clause (properly classified only as a “Free Exercise/Accommodation” case)

Summary: Black Protestant children challenged city’s scheme for assignment of children to foster care, claiming a violation of their religious liberty rights because Protestant children generally waited longer for placement, tended to be placed in inferior agencies compared with better-funded Catholic and Jewish agencies, and were chilled in exercise of their own religion when placed in Catholic and Jewish agencies; however, on appeal, the court addresses only objections to a class settlement by religiously-affiliated foster care agencies contending that a new first-come-first-served approach would violate the free exercise rights of parents and that, secondarily, that a proposed settlement would involve an undue entanglement between the city and religious agencies in violation of the Establishment Clause (properly classified only as a “Free Exercise/Accommodation” case)

Summary: Rejecting free exercise request for accommodation to be excused from having to pay union dues as condition of employment where federal labor statute permitted accommodation only for members of certain religious organizations (this decision is somewhat difficult to categorize as the court focuses most attention on petitioner’s establishment challenge to federal statute’s limitations to certain types of religious affiliation, but consistent with coding decision to treat affirmative requests for accommodation and parties raising free exercise claims, along with establishment claims, decision was coded only as Free Exercise/Accommodation; moreover, given that the plaintiff ultimately loses, his establishment claim -- while being accepted in theory only -- is coded as unsuccessful).

Dissent:

Clark’s dissent is not coded, because while it finds an establishment violation in limiting the exemption to members of the Native American Church, he also would simply invalidate the exemption and not extend it to the claimants here, thus meaning that the claimants would still lose under his analysis, despite his acceptance of their theory; accordingly, his opinion does not fit the categories for this study, which focus on the outcome on the merits

Summary: Rejecting free exercise, establishment, and equal protection challenges to constitutionality of statutes banning use of peyote and objecting to exemption for one sect on equal protection grounds

Summary: Upholding free speech claims of private religious groups against injunction prohibiting display of religious paintings by any group in public park (the decision below was coded in the Establishment database because the primary focus was upon the city’s decision to post the paintings, but the city did not join in the appeal which was taken instead by intervenors to assert the free speech rights of private groups to engage in religious expression in a public square and thus the strict Establishment claim was not challenged on appeal); coding the concurring judges the same as the majority was problematic here as those judges suggested that some constraints on religious speech in a public forum is proper, but given that they joined in vacation of the remedy and thus upheld the intervenor’s free speech rights at least in part, that fine line does not justify different treatment here
