A few students from a local mosque attend the public high school in Walnut Grove. They ask David McIntyre, principal of Walnut Grove High, to allow them to use a classroom on Friday during lunch period so they can pray together according to Muslim law. They point out that a Bible Club, organized and led by students, meets once a week at the school. Mr. McIntyre fears that granting the request
could create tension in a school with a population of students from different faiths, but he is aware of judicial decisions made in similar cases. Legally, what action should Mr. McIntyre take?
A) He refuses the request because the Bible Club students represent the majority population.
B) He refuses the request because the Muslim students are clearly a minority.
C) He grants the request since the Bible Club is already meeting in the school.
D) He grants the request on the condition that a staff member agrees to act as a sponsor for the group.
