In a small community in the south, a high school football coach wants to lead his players in a Christian prayer prior to all
games. Well over 90% of the community is Protestant Christian. It is estimated that only two or three of the athletes are
non-Christian. The local newspaper conducted a poll and found that 96.5% of the community support the prayers prior to the
games. The parents of one non-Christian student have sued the school district to stop the prayers…The school superintendent
has suggested that the matter be put on the ballot as a referendum for the people to decide in a free and fair election. What
is the role here, legally and Constitutionally, of
"majority rule"
"minority rule" Separation of church and state (First Amendment)? Think about all of the more obvious as well as the more subtle ramifications of these questions.
