known is but a delicate chiffon draped over a thick and richly textured cosmic fabric. —Brian Greene, The Fabric of the Cosmos
What will be an ideal response?The Native American Church uses the drug peyote as part of their religious ceremony. Two
state employees in Oregon, Alfred Smith and Galen Black, who practiced this religion, were fired from their jobs for this drug use. They were then denied unemployment compensation because they were fired for “misconduct.” The state of Oregon bans the use of peyote in all circumstances. About half of the states and the Federal government do permit the use of peyote in certain religious situations. Smith and Black sued in federal court, claiming that the ban on peyote in religious circumstances violated their First Amendment right to freedom of religious expression. The U.S. Supreme Court sided with the state of Oregon in deciding this case. The court noted that the religious use of peyote was not being singled out for the ban, but rather than the use of peyote was banned in all circumstances. If Oregon had permitted peyote use in all situations, except religious ceremonies, that would have been a violation of religious expression.
