The Death of Graduation Prayer: The Parrot Sketch Redux.

Tanford, J. Alexander

Journal of Law and Education, v24 n3 p423-55 Sum 1995

Critically examines and responds to the persistent argument by religionists that high school graduation prayer is somehow constitutional despite "Lee versus Weisman." Addresses the loopholes advocated and concludes that the courts have clearly rejected each of them. (183 footnotes) (MLF)
