About this sermon
The US Supreme Court is tackling a dispute regarding prayer in public schools. The justices heard arguments today in a case involving a former high school football coach in Washington state. School officials told him to stop praying on the field following games. The coach, who is Christian, says the request violates his freedom of speech. The school district says it offered the coach other places to pray in private, but he refused. A decision is expected in late June before the court begins its summer recess. From the Defense of Freedom Institute for Policy Studies, Angela Morabito, joins to remind us why this case is so important for freedom of religion. She tells us more about the oral arguments and how one of the justices suggested the post-game prayer is a form of coercion. Morabito explains what else stood out to her from what the justices said. She shares how she thinks the day went overall and which side should be more optimistic. Morabito takes us through what will happen next in this case.
