Court upholds freedom to pray in public meetings
The Supreme Court’s 5-4 ruling in Town of Greece v. Galloway protects the right of government meetings to open with prayer. The opinion preserves a long tradition, rejects banning prayers, and asserts the First Amendment allows charged but noncoercive public prayer while dissenters may feel pressure. The piece cites Jefferson and Obama, and urges other communities to follow Greece’s example.

Understanding Tourette syndrome and supportive care
Tourette syndrome is a nervous system disorder that often begins in childhood with motor tics and later vocal tics. Treatments include cognitive behavioral therapy, habit reversal, and medications with fewer side effects, while deep brain stimulation is explored for severe cases. Unconditional love and reassurance help, as tics often lessen during adolescence and may disappear by the 20s.
