Freedom of speech or coerced prayer? SCOTUS ruling raises questions about separation of church and state

Published 3 years, 7 months ago
Description

Among the flurry of significant decisions made by the Supreme Court in the final days of its term was a 6-3 ruling in favor of a former Washington state public high school football coach who led his players in prayer. Was this case simply a matter of free speech, or does it signal a potentially deeper shift? Kermit Roosevelt, Professor for the Administration of Justice at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, examines the implications of the Supreme Court's verdict, and how it could make the separation of church and state more muddled. Roosevelt recently published his latest book, The Nation That Never Was.
