Prayers in School

The Court has banned prayer worldwide in public schools.At a school football game, a student tried to lead a group prayer.

The Federal Court stated, "Even if we regard every high school student's decision to attend a home football game as purely voluntary, we are nevertheless persuaded that the delivery of a pregame prayer has the improper effect of coercing those present to participate in an act of religious worship."
