b. The Supreme Court ruled that Jehovahs Witnesses were out of the mainstream of religious belief and were therefore not protected by the First Amendment.
c. The Supreme Court ruled that Jehovahs Witnesses are not observing a legitimate religion.
d. In West Virginia v. Barnette the Supreme Court ruled that the public school system could not suspend students who as Jehovahs Witnesses refused to salute the flag in their classrooms.
e. In Brown v. Board of Education the Supreme Court upheld a law which banned prayer in school by students who were Jehovahs Witnesses.
