If government meetings open with prayer, rotated between area clergy, should they deny Satanists the right to offer an invocation? A new lawsuit in Arizona asks.
A cert denial by the U.S. Supreme Court leaves in place a 5th Circuit ruling upholding a Texas school district’s practice of opening board meetings with student-led prayer.
The Sixth Circuit found the fact that Jackson County (MI) commissioners lead the prayers before meetings to be “of no legal consequence,” ruling against a plaintiff who claimed the practice is unconstitutional.
A new petition asks the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether its legislative prayer decisions apply to student-led prayers at school board meetings, after an appeals court ruled in favor of the practice.
