Supreme Court Protects Public School Coach's Ability to Lead Students in Prayer

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : The justices overturned a lower court's finding that the coach's actions violated laws disallowing public schools from promoting religion.
61% : The justices' ruling "could leave public schools vulnerable to religious displays from staff and educators," wrote New York Magazine's Sarah Jones.
50% : The majority decision once again weakens the division between modern religious freedoms and historical limits to individuals' religious practices, Sotomayor continued.
49% :Indeed, this decision is one of many recent decisions in support of religious plaintiffs, often Christian, including a ruling in May forcing the state of Maine to offer tuition aid to religious private schools in another decision that will further engrain "a far right vision of the role of religion in U.S. society," as Sasha Abramsky wrote for Truthout.
