Why the Supreme Court's football decision is a game-changer on school prayer

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

69% : The U.S. Supreme Court has consistently banned school-sponsored prayer in public schools.
65% : School officials directed Kennedy to stop praying on the field because they feared that his actions could put the board at risk of violating the First Amendment.
44% : Yet on June 27, 2022, the Supreme Court effectively gave individual employees' prayer the thumbs up - potentially ushering in more religious activities in public schools.
44% : During oral arguments at the Supreme Court, though, it was clear that the majority of justices were sympathetic to Kennedy's claims of religious discrimination and more concerned with his rights to religious freedom than the board's concern about violating the establishment clause.
40% : The debate over abortion is often framed in terms of religion, even though the court's holding focused on other constitutional grounds.
