Post-game Prayer Conflicts with First Amendment Rights

Editor: Thomas H. Sawyer

 

Abstract

The court denied a preliminary injunction to a high school coach, who sought to continue his practice of kneeling down and praying at the 50-yard-line after his team's football games. The school district had suspended the coach because of his practice, leading to his bid for an injunction because the school district was retaliating against him for exercising his First Amendment rights.
