3rd Circuit to Hear Appeal of Prayer Lawsuit Over High School Coach's Actions
Imagine, for a time, if the Coach was Pagan? What would happen THEN?
3rd Circuit to Hear Appeal of Prayer Lawsuit Over High School Coach's Actions:
When a high school football coach tells his players to get on bended knee and bow their heads for a moment of silence before a game, is he violating the Establishment Clause by ordering the students to engage in prayer? Or, instead, would the school district be violating the coach's First Amendment rights if it ordered him to stop the practice because parents had complained? Those are the questions a 3rd Circuit panel faces today in an appeal from a New Jersey federal judge's ruling in favor of the coach.
