Other School Boards to Pray, Despite Court Ruling

The Times-Picayune reports that the St. Bernard Parish school board will open its meeting tonight with prayer, despite a federal judge's ruling regarding school board prayer in Tangipahoa Parish. Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at Loyola Law School, Rev. Lawrence Moore, states that the court ruling should be narrowly construed and only applies to Tangipahoa. Joe Cook of the Louisiana ACLU disagrees, saying that, particularly in the Eastern District, all school boards should abide by the ruling.
