Lenoir City school system curtailing prayers at public meetings
The Lenoir City School Board has ceased opening its meetings with a prayer in a response to secular organizations who allege that prayer at board meetings and other school functions violates the Constitution.
The school also has decided it no longer will allow prayer before football games, Superintendent Wayne Miller said.
No decision has been made regarding other complaints raised in letters from the organizations, which include Americans United, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Appignani Humanist Legal Center.
