School District Liability for Team Prayers.
Bjorklun, Eugene C.
West's Education Law Reporter, v59 n1 p7-14 May 10 1990
An examination of the constitutionality of team prayer shows that pregame prayers violate the First Amendment's Establishment Clause, and their use can lead to liability problems for both coaches and school boards. Advises school boards to adopt policies specifically prohibiting team prayers. (MLF)
