Prayers and Extracurricular Activities in Public Schools.
Bjorklun, Eugene C.
Religion & Public Education, v16 n3 p459-70 Fall 1989
Examines the constitutionality of public school personnel organizing prayers at extracurricular events and of using ceremonial prayers, invocation, and benedictions at school activities. Reviews court litigation and Supreme Court decisions that use the Establishment Clause and Lemon test to determine legality. Finds, in most cases, that prayer at extracurricular activities is unconstitutional. (CH)
