5th Circuit Will Hear School Board Prayer Case En Banc

2theadvocate.com reports that the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has granted an en banc rehearing in Doe v. Tangipahoa Parish School District. (See prior posting.) A three judge panel was unable to agree on whether the Lemon case or the Marsh (legislative prayer) case governed invocations at school board meetings. Oral arguments are scheduled for the week of May 21. [Thanks to Alliance Alert for the lead.]
