Schools - Private Parochial Schools - Transportation Of Pupils - Use Of Public Funds, Dan K. Cook
Michigan Law Review
A New York statute provided for the public transportation of school children to public and private schools. Plaintiff instituted a taxpayer's action to enjoin defendant board of education from furnishing transportation, in compliance with the statute, to children attending a parochial school. Plaintiff contended the statute was unconstitutional by reason of a provision of the New York constitution which forbade public aid or maintenance of denominational schools. Held, that the statute was valid, and plaintiff's prayer was denied. Judd v. Board of Education, 164 Misc. 889, 300 N. Y. S. 1037 (1937), affd. (App. Div. 1938) 3 N. …

Michigan Law Review
A Massachusetts statute imposed a duty upon each public school teacher to lead his pupils, at least once each week, in a salute and pledge of allegiance to the flag. Petitioner was in his third year as a pupil in the public schools, and, in obedience to his father's commands, refused to participate in the salute and pledge. For such refusal, the school committee expelled the petitioner from the school, and he thereupon submitted a petition for a writ of mandamus, to compel his readmission to the school. Held, that the writ be denied, inasmuch as the statute did …

Constitutional Law-Religion In The Public School
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff sued as a taxpayer to enjoin defendant from permitting the use of school buildings by organizations of pupils based on religious affiliations and from directing the reading of excerpts from the Bible in the public schools. Plaintiff contended that in so far as the Greater New York Charter impliedly authorized the use of the Bible for such purposes, it was unconstitutional. Held, the action of the school board was proper, and injunction denied. Lewis v. Board of Education of City of New York, (N. Y. Sup. Ct. 1935) 285 N. Y. S. 164.
Constitutional Law--"Liberty" Under Fourteenth Amendment--Validity Of Foreign Languages Statutes
Constitutional Law--"Liberty" Under Fourteenth Amendment--Validity Of Foreign Languages Statutes
Michigan Law Review
Nine states during the months immediately following the conclusion of the World War passed statutes in substantially the same language, forbidding the teaching of any modem language except English to children below the eighth grade in any school, private or public. Ohio also passed a law applying only to the German language. Teachers in Nebraska, Iowa, and Ohio were convicted during 1920 and 1921 of violating these statutes and, after the supreme courts of the various states had held them valid, their cases were combined in an appeal to the United States Supreme Court. Held, the statutes deprived appellants …

Japanese School Incident At San Francisco From The Point Of View Of International And Constitutional Law, Theodore P. Ion.
Japanese School Incident At San Francisco From The Point Of View Of International And Constitutional Law, Theodore P. Ion.
Michigan Law Review
The act of the Board of Education of San Francisco in assigning to Japanese pupils separate school buildings, has been the occasion of a diplomatic incident which, although insignificant in itself, may lead to far reaching consequences both in regard to the internal affairs and the external relations of the country. It is neither the first, nor will it probably be the last sign, of the struggle for equality of the yellow with the white man, which may subsequently be emphasized in a more tangible, if not abrupt manner, resulting in a clash between the two races: the one, trying …
