Court upholds ban on prayer at high school football games
Clarence Page argues the Fifth Circuit ruling restricting student led prayers at Texas high school football games is appropriate. He contends the Supreme Court misreads the balance between religion and government, praising limits on public school microphones while affirming personal prayer in non event settings. He warns against government meddling in faith and calls for teachers to discuss world religions without promoting prayer at events.
