Re: Religious Right
Generally speaking, of course students can not be removed from school because of religious beliefs and compulsory school laws need to be interpreted consistent with the First Amendment's Free Exercise Clause. However, without the facts of a particular case, it's impossible to know if unconstitutional conduct has occurred.
