Is my pe teacher taking away my first amendment rights?

I go to a charter school and I have pacers next week. My PE teacher is allowing us to wear regular clothes but won't let us wear anything religoius. Do you think she has the right to do this to my classmates and I? (BTW I'm Jewish)

    The first amendment applies to the government and prevents them from infringing on religious freedom. It has nothing to do with private organizations. Charter schools receive government funding but are typically privately owned and operated, so it is likely the first amendment does not apply in your situation

    You may be covered by civil rights legislation that prevents discrimination on the base of religion. But because you said that she is restricting religious garb for all students, and not discriminating against Jews specifically, she is probably within the law there as well.

    There are reasonable accommodation laws that require an employer to accommodate religiouly required attire so long as it does not interfere with the company operation. But that is labor law and doesn't really apply to students in a school.

    You don't really have rights on private or government property, bro.

    Okay, all the other idiots on this sight can't seem to get it together so I'll try to help. It's not wrong to be Jewish. Teachers are not allowed to wear religious symbols but students are I believe. As long as he isn't preventing you from wearing a religious symbol and is letting someone wear a cross he is okay.

    The first amendment us being taken away little by little anyways. I'm an atheist, and as much as i would love to burn all your jewbag shirts, I can't. So be thankful for that if we ever cross paths. And keep your shirts at home.

    Religion has no place in school or work buddy. Thats what your mosque temple church is for. Exercise is exercise. Only mr.t wears jewelry when exercising.

    What if one of the other kids wears a shirt with a swastika on it, will you tolerate that?

    If we had any idea what the fuck "Pacers" is it might help, but if it's an across the board thing where no one is allowed to do something then YOU are not being singled out. That doesn't mean it isn't potentially a constitutional issue, but it's probably not, so get over it, and BTW, you don't sound old enough to be on this site.
