Same-Sex Wedding Service Refusals and Obergefell 's "Decent and Honorable" Dicta

Wayne State University Law School Research Paper No. 4958589

77 Pages Posted: 17 Sep 2024

Wayne State University Law School; Wayne State University - College of Arts and Sciences

Date Written: September 05, 2024

Does the holding in 303 Creative v. Elenis give public accommodations a constitutional right to refuse to provide expressive services for interracial couples’ weddings or for couples’ weddings in which one or both partners are disabled? As indicated by questions Justice Sotomayor raised about this issue during oral arguments, this is one of the troubling new legal questions created by the Supreme Court’s decision in 303 Creative . There the Court held that a Colorado web design business had a First Amendment free speech right to refuse to provide wedding website services for same-sex couples’ weddings, even though Colorado law protects against sexual-orientation discrimination in public accommodations and Colorado concluded that the web design business’ refusal to provide such services violated its law.

Understandably, both the Court’s conservative and liberal justices appear wary of extending the Court’s holding to provide a right to refuse service for other protected couples’ weddings. Yet, so far, advocates of the Court’s decision in 303 Creative have been unable to give a plausible explanation as to why it does not so extend. Often, when pressed, such advocates appeal to Justice Kennedy’s statement, made in dicta, in Obergefell v. Hodges that “[m]any who deem same-sex marriage to be wrong reach that conclusion based on decent and honorable religious or philosophical premises.” My aim in this paper is to show why the arguments based on such appeals fail. All such arguments violate longstanding core aspects of either the Court’s First Amendment or public accommodation law precedent. And all such attempts undermine the dignity of LGBTQ people and subject them to an inferior class status. In light of this, I argue that the best way out is for the Court to narrow 303 Creative ’s holding to cover only cases where a state is seeking to enforce its public accommodation law for the purposes the Court attributed to Colorado in 303 Creative . Because states virtually never seek to enforce their public accommodation laws for such reasons, 303 Creative would be unlikely to be controlling in future cases as a result.

Keywords: free speech, free exercise, religious liberty, LGBTQ rights, public accommodation laws, same-sex marriage, Obergefell v. Hodges, 303 Creative v. Elenis, Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado

• Apply for Certification: After completing your degree and passing the necessary exams, you can apply for a Maryland teaching license through the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) . This process includes submitting your transcripts, test scores, and proof of your teacher preparation program.
• Complete Fingerprinting and Background Checks: Maryland requires all educators to undergo fingerprinting and a criminal background check. This step is crucial for ensuring the safety of students and maintaining a secure educational environment.

Did you know that there are approximately 36,504 educator vacancies in the USA? What's worse is that over 100,000 classrooms are led by underqualified teachers, as shown below. These emphasize the dire need for educators nationwide.

To become a middle school math teacher in Maryland, aspiring educators must navigate a series of educational requirements designed to ensure they are well-prepared for the classroom. Here’s a comprehensive overview of what is needed:

• Degree Requirements: A minimum of a bachelor's degree is essential. This degree should ideally be in education or a related field, with a focus on mathematics. While a master’s degree is not mandatory for initial certification, it can enhance one’s qualifications and career prospects. If you do not have a BS degree, yet, consider accelerated bachelor's degree online programs to speed up your studies.
• Coursework: Candidates must complete specific coursework that includes both educational theory and subject matter expertise in mathematics. This often encompasses classes in pedagogy, child development, and advanced mathematics, ensuring that teachers are equipped with the necessary skills to engage middle school students effectively. Understanding the educational requirements for middle school math teachers in Maryland is crucial for prospective candidates.
• Teacher Preparation Programs: Participation in an accredited teacher preparation program is crucial. These programs typically include a clinical internship component, allowing candidates to gain hands-on experience in a classroom setting under the supervision of experienced educators. This practical training is invaluable for developing teaching strategies and classroom management skills.
• Accreditation: It is important that the educational institution attended is accredited and recognized by the Maryland State Department of Education. This ensures that the program meets the state’s standards for teacher preparation and licensure.
• Subject Matter Competency: To demonstrate proficiency in mathematics, candidates must pass specific licensure assessments, including the Praxis exams. Achieving the required scores on these assessments is a critical step in proving one’s capability to teach math at the middle school level. For those interested in becoming a math teacher in Maryland, understanding these assessments is essential.

Becoming a middle school math teacher in Maryland requires a solid educational foundation, relevant coursework, practical experience through teacher preparation programs, and successful completion of licensure assessments. By following these steps, we can ensure that future educators are well-equipped to inspire and educate the next generation of learners. For more information on teaching certification programs, you can explore Nevada teaching certification programs .

One does not need to stay at a BS degree, though - higher degrees present more opportunities and higher salaries. In the 2020-2021 school year, public elementary and secondary school teachers in the United States earned average annual salaries of $52,500 for a bachelor's degree, $67,000 for a master's degree, $70,500 for an education specialist degree, and $71,300 for a doctoral degree, as shown in the graph below (National Center for Education Statistics, 2023). In summary, higher educational qualifications are associated with increased salaries for teachers in the U.S. public school system.

To become a middle school math teacher in Maryland, candidates must navigate a structured certification and licensing process that ensures they are well-prepared for the classroom. Here’s a comprehensive overview of the steps involved.

• Educational Requirements: Candidates must hold at least a bachelor’s degree. This degree should ideally be in mathematics or a related field, along with completion of a Maryland-approved teacher preparation program. Such programs typically include both coursework and a clinical internship, which provides practical teaching experience. Those interested in pursuing a career in education may also consider the growth of related fields, such as history, which can be explored further through resources like
• Licensure Assessments: Aspiring teachers are required to pass specific licensure assessments. For middle school math, this often includes the Praxis series, particularly the Praxis 5205 Teaching Reading Elementary assessment, which is essential for those seeking licensure in early childhood or elementary education. Understanding the Maryland teaching license requirements is crucial for candidates to ensure they meet all necessary criteria.
• Background Checks: As part of the application process, candidates must undergo fingerprinting and background checks to ensure the safety of students. This step is crucial and typically involves submitting fingerprints to the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) for review.
• Application Process: Once educational and assessment requirements are met, candidates can apply for their teaching license through the MSDE. This process may involve submitting transcripts, proof of passing scores on assessments, and documentation of the completed teacher preparation program.
• Fees: There are associated costs with the application process, including fees for the licensure assessments and the application itself. Candidates should budget for these expenses as they can add up.
• Continuing Education: After obtaining a license, teachers must engage in continuous professional development to maintain their certification. This may include additional coursework or professional learning activities.

By following these steps, candidates can successfully navigate the certification process and embark on a rewarding career as a middle school math teacher in Maryland. The journey requires dedication and commitment, but the impact on students' lives can be profound and fulfilling.

Becoming a middle school math teacher in Maryland requires a blend of formal education and practical teaching experience. Teaching experience is crucial, as it not only enhances your pedagogical skills but also prepares you for the diverse challenges of the classroom.

• Student Teaching Internship: In Maryland, aspiring teachers must complete a student teaching internship, which typically spans a full semester. This immersive experience allows candidates to apply theoretical knowledge in real classroom settings, under the mentorship of experienced educators.
• Internship Resources:  To find internship opportunities, we recommend exploring partnerships with local universities and school districts. Many institutions, such as the University of Maryland and Towson University, offer robust teacher preparation programs that include student teaching placements. Additionally, the Maryland State Department of Education provides resources and guidance on securing internships, ensuring that candidates are well-prepared for their future roles.
• Teacher Preparation Program:  In terms of certification, Maryland requires candidates to complete a state-approved teacher preparation program, which includes a minimum of 100 hours of field experience prior to student teaching. This foundational experience is essential for developing classroom management skills and understanding student needs.
• Best Practices:  To maximize your student teaching experience, we suggest actively engaging with your mentor, seeking feedback, and reflecting on your teaching practices. Building relationships with students and collaborating with fellow educators can also enrich your learning journey.
• Alternative Pathways:  For those considering alternative pathways, programs like Teach for America or the Maryland Teacher Residency Program offer unique opportunities to gain teaching experience while earning certification. These programs often provide additional support and resources, making them an attractive option for aspiring middle school math teachers. Affordable online education degrees can also help beef up your credentials.

In summary, teaching experience is vital for success in the classroom, and Maryland offers various avenues for gaining this experience, ensuring that future educators are well-equipped to inspire the next generation of learners.

To become a middle school math teacher in Maryland, it is essential to understand the state's specific standards and curriculum requirements.

• The Maryland College and Career Ready Standards for Mathematics: These standards outline what students should know and be able to do at various grade levels, including grades 6 through 8. These standards emphasize not only content knowledge but also the development of mathematical practices that students should master over time. Understanding the teaching standards for middle school math in Maryland is crucial for educators aiming to align their instruction with state expectations.
• Curriculum Standards:  Maryland's curriculum standards are designed to ensure that students are prepared for both high school and post-secondary education. They focus on critical areas such as algebra, geometry, and statistics, which are foundational for advanced mathematical concepts. Compared to other states, Maryland's standards may place a stronger emphasis on integrating real-world applications and problem-solving skills, which can enhance student engagement and understanding.
• Resources:  To support middle school math teachers in meeting these standards, various resources are available. The Maryland College and Career Ready Mathematics Curriculum Frameworks provide guidance on implementing the standards effectively. Additionally, the Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP) offers assessment tools and rubrics that help educators evaluate student progress and align their teaching strategies with state expectations.
• Best Practices:  Incorporating Maryland's standards into lesson plans requires a thoughtful approach. Teachers can design activities that promote exploration and critical thinking, ensuring that students engage with the material in meaningful ways. For instance, project-based learning can be an effective method to apply mathematical concepts to real-life scenarios, fostering deeper understanding. This approach aligns well with the Maryland middle school math curriculum requirements, which emphasize practical applications of mathematical concepts.
• Maryland math curriculum components:  Key components of the Maryland math curriculum for middle school students include a focus on mathematical reasoning, problem-solving, and the application of mathematical concepts across various contexts. By aligning lesson plans with these standards, teachers can create a robust learning environment that prepares students for future academic challenges and success in mathematics. For those interested in furthering their education in related fields, pursuing a  library science degree  can also provide valuable skills that complement teaching.

In Maryland, the job market for math teachers is promising. With a focus on improving educational outcomes, schools are actively seeking qualified middle school math teachers. This demand is reflected in the competitive salaries offered to educators in this field. Specifically, the middle school math teacher salary in Maryland can vary based on experience, education level, and the specific district, but it generally remains competitive compared to other states.

The salary range for 7th/8th Grade Math Teachers in Maryland as of August 27, 2024, is $43,675 to $90,472, with an average or median salary of $63,255. This data shows that the middle 50% of 7th/8th Grade Math Teachers earn between $53,006 and $77,502. These are shown in the graph below.

As the demand for qualified educators continues to grow, many individuals are considering pursuing an online master's in education. This option allows for flexibility while obtaining advanced qualifications, which can be particularly beneficial for those looking to specialize in areas such as mathematics education. For those interested in this path, you can explore  online master's in education  programs

Overall, pursuing an advanced degree in education not only enhances teaching skills but also opens up numerous opportunities in the job market, particularly for those specializing in mathematics.

In Maryland, middle school math teachers have access to a variety of professional development and continuing education opportunities designed to enhance their teaching skills and keep them updated on the latest educational practices. Engaging in these professional learning experiences is essential for educators aiming to improve their effectiveness in the classroom and positively impact student learning outcomes.

• Continuing Professional Development (CPD): The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) recognizes CPD courses as vital for educators.
