Bow Your Head, Break The Law
April 17, 2008
A federal appeals court has ruled a New Jersey high-school football coach who bowed his head while students on his team led prayer was actually breaking the law.
The decision, though, will be appealed, said John Whitehead, president of the Virginia-based civil-liberties group the Rutherford Institute.
“If this ruling is allowed to stand, it will mean that high-school teachers across the United States will have no free speech or academic freedom rights at all,” he said. “This undermines a time-honored tradition that has less to do with religion that it does athletic tradition. It’s a sad statement on our rights as Americans that schools are no longer bastions of freedom.”
The ruling came in the case involving Coach Marcus Borden.
