Court rules religious clubs may meet in public schools
The Supreme Court, in a 6 3 decision, requires the Milford School District to allow the Good News Club to hold after school meetings for ages five to twelve to pray and study the Bible, ruling excluding the club was discriminatory and not a government endorsement of religion. Justice Breyer joined the conservative majority in part. Justices Scalia, Rehnquist, O Connor, and Thomas supported the ruling, while Justices Ginsburg, Souter, and Stevens dissented.
