Abstract

The Supreme Court's recent decision in Board of Education v. Mergens, which upheld the constitutionality of the Equal Access Act and decided that the Act was violated on the facts before the Court, must be viewed against the background of governmental discrimination and the struggle for religious civil rights. Mergens is truly a civil rights case, and we must heed its lessons if we are serious about our claim to be a fair, open, and pluralistic society.
