Sta to ML, passes the three-part Lemon test: It has a valid secular purpose—ML’s rehabilitation; it primarily advances ML’s rehabilitation, not religion; and it leads not at all to entanglement of church and state, for no church is involved. The judge’s order avoids mandating the study of any religious practices; it merely orders the juvenile to study the lives of individuals who have made significant contributions to the code of civilized conduct upon which societies exist. The study of these lives presented as intellectual history neither necessitates the study of religion nor is unconstitutional. Brown v.
