Court orders review of prayer day case by federal appeals court
Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered a recalculation of a ruling in a case about whether taxpayers must cover $340 in park rental costs for a National Day of Prayer event in Tucson. The court cited a prior decision allowing a Bible club to meet in public schools and instructed the appeals court to reconsider in light of that ruling.
