Sweeping ruling finds: ‘Constitution does not permit a school official to silence a teacher’s private, personal prayer simply because a student might see it’

A federal appeals court has delivered what is being described as a “landmark” ruling that affirms a Texas teacher’s “right to pray” on school grounds.
That means her principal violated clearly established law when he ordered her to stop.
The American Center for Law and Justice said, “The court’s reasoning was sweeping: The Constitution does not permit a school official to silence a teacher’s private, personal prayer simply because a student might see it.”
