In Westside Community Schools v. Mergens, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the students, stating that it was a violation of their First Amendment rights. The case involved a student-led Bible club that requested to meet on school grounds, but the school denied their request, arguing that it violated the separation of church and state.
