Contents Summary
In 1962 the Supreme Court ruled that school-sanctioned prayers and devotional Bible readings in public school classrooms are unconstitutional but this ruling is ignored every day, especially in the South. Lisa Herdahl, a Mississippi mother of six, sues her local school district to remove intercom prayer and Bible classes from the public schools. Christian community members rally against her to protect their time-honored tradition of religious practices in the schools. Both sides claim they are fighting for religious freedom. The question remains: whose freedom is more precious?
