As students return to classrooms across much of the United States, a prolonged heat wave affecting roughly 97m people is forcing schools to take additional precautions to protect children from dangerous temperatures. With temperatures approaching 100 F and heat indexes potentially reaching 115 F in parts of the Southeast, some districts are keeping students indoors for recess when heat indexes reach certain levels, encouraging families to send children with bottled water, and canceling high school football activities. The conditions pose particular risks for student-athletes, with at least 58 players nationwide dying from exertional heat stroke between 1992 and 2024. Persistently high overnight temperatures are expected to provide little relief as schools navigate the extreme heat during the opening weeks of the academic year.

Texas
Civil rights advocates have petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to review a Texas law mandating the display of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms. Over two dozen Texas families, represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, argue that the law infringes on First Amendment rights regarding the separation of church and state. They stated: "The question of whether a state may impose scripture on impressionable, captive-audience children... implicates the most fundamental guarantees of the First Amendment." The law, signed by Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, has faced opposition after a split decision by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld it. Similar laws have emerged in other Southern states, raising concerns about religious expression in educational settings.

Florida
Florida Catholic bishops are challenging Attorney General James Uthmeier's authority, claiming he is infringing on their First Amendment rights regarding vaccine policies. In a letter, Michael Sheedy, executive director of the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops, expressed concerns over Uthmeier's threat to revoke state-funded scholarships for Catholic schools that do not comply with vaccine exemption requests. Sheedy said: "Any inquiry is foreclosed by the First Amendment," emphasizing that decisions on vaccine exemptions involve religious teachings and should be left to the Church. With over 86,000 students attending Catholic schools receiving state scholarships, the bishops argue that parental rights and religious beliefs must be respected. Uthmeier's office has not responded to the bishops' letter, but he has criticized the Church's stance on vaccinations, questioning whether schools that do not adhere to state laws should receive funding.
