Question

The County of Francis has a fair every summer that attracts tens of thousands of people. The Fair rents out booths on a non-discriminatory basis to community groups who wish to educate the public or sell merchandise. A group of Jehovah's Witnesses, a local religious group, believe it is God's will that they evangelize. They do not wish to rent a booth, but desire to walk amongst the fairgoers and sell literature/seek donations. The Fair Commission denies their request, stating that if they allow Jehovah's Witnesses this privilege, then they would have to allow everyone the same privilege. If the case ends up in court, the court will: Allow the Jehovah's Witnesses an exception to the general rule based on religious freedom Allow the Jehovah's Witnesses an exception because the booth policy constitutes unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination Uphold the booth policy, since the fair is a limited public forum Uphold the booth policy since it is on private property.
