Louisiana School Board Prayer Suit Finally Dismissed

The Advocate today reports that on August 22, a Louisiana federal district judge formally dismissed the ACLU's suit against Tangipahoa Parish School Board as she was ordered to do by the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. (See prior posting.) Plaintiffs lost their challenge to school board invocations on standing grounds. This leaves the school board free to implement the new prayer policy that it adopted last month.
