Religion
The parents of a deaf child, James Zobrest, sued their school district after they failed to provide a sign language interpreter for their son who attended a Catholic school. They claimed that the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and the First Amendments free exercise clause compelled the school to provide the interpreter. Both the federal district and appellate courts rejected this case. They did not provide the child with an interpreter because the interpreter would be considered religious from a catholic school.
