Court Rebuffs Appeal on Volunteer School Prayers
The Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal by parents opposing a New York City principal's ban on kindergarten volunteer prayers, keeping the measure in place and continuing the court's long set of church state guidelines from 1948 onward. The decision leaves the ban as applied, with prior rulings addressing official prayer, Bible readings, and ministerial instruction in public schools, all under the First Amendment.
