Clergy Split Over Public School Prayer Debate
Local clergy react to Reagan's push for school prayer with division. Some evangelicals urge prayers in classrooms while Lutheran and Jewish leaders oppose any public school prayer. Officials say they follow current law limiting organized prayer but allow individual study and discussion. The dispute mirrors national debates and could continue as lawmakers revisit constitutional amendments.
