ACLU Chief Defends Prayer Ruling

The Advocate reports that Joe Cook, head of the ACLU in Louisiana, defended a federal district judge's ruling banning prayer by the Tangipahoa Parish School Board. Cook stated that, despite criticism from the Governor and others, the decision was sound. Judge Berrigan's prior leadership of the Louisiana ACLU did not affect his ruling, and his fitness to rule in the matter was not questioned by the attorneys for the school board.
