Louisiana school agrees to stop public prayer for good- Chloe Walker

A school district in Louisiana begins to question some of its customs, which have allegedly violated 1st amendment rights. The case sparked frustration throughout the town of Webster Parish, a town heavily influenced by Christianity. " For our family, religion is a deeply private matter, and school officials have no business interfering with my daughter's personal religious beliefs," Christy Cole. Prayers were broadcasted over the speaker each morning. This lead to the discussion of an unconstitutional indoctrination of student promoted by the teachers and faculty of the school.


This article was created by Mallory Simon and Nick Valencia of CNN. Before this article I had no knowledge of this event. This effects my understanding of the article because I myself am a Christian and can understand the viewpoint of the small town. This article was written to show how religion can be questioned and taken away from the government. This article leaves a positive affect on the audience since its a cause for freedom of religion, which leads into the importance of the article. This article can relate towards the Pilgrims and their escape to the Americas for freedom of religion.
