    1. New Jersey

      Based on this sentence and really the rest of the page/case, the state of New Jersey can't use tax dollars to support schools that teach a certain religion (ex. like Catholic schools). This would go against the fundamental principles of the First Amendment. Also, you can't force a religion onto people; people are allowed to believe what they believe in (that's a fundamental right and freedom).
