As Anne Howe on Scotus Blog explained following the Court’s Kennedy v. Bremerton School District decision, the Lemon test was used for decades by the Court “to decide that a law or practice will pass constitutional muster if it has a secular purpose, its principal effect does not advance or inhibit religion, and it does not create an ‘excessive entanglement with religion.’”
The Bremerton decision affirmed that high school football coach Joseph Kennedy had the right to pray in public at the 50-yard line after games in which his players competed, representing a public school.
9-0 decision from the Supreme Court really puts the nail in that coffin. If even the liberal hacks on the court thought this one through, what must the arguments from the other side looked like?

“ Since the “Lemon Test” is dead and the Establishment Clause must be interpreted according to its historical intent, all the cases that relied on the Lemon test are no longer good law, including cases that struck down prayer, Ten Commandments, Nativity displays or other religious symbols, religious performances, religious speech and expression, rental of public school facilities for church services when other secular use is permitted, student aid programs, and much more.”
When I went to Junior and Senior High School, it was at school campus that included both the Junior and Senior High schools, together (same principle, vice principle and deans & counselors, same body of classroooms, different schedules, different classes, different curriculum, same cafeteria, separate lunch areas, same boys and girls P.E./gymn coaches & facilities, separate Jr & Sr PE/Gymn class times). By the 9th grade the campus was overcrowded. But across one street was a Mormon church that rented its sunday school classrooms to our Jr/Sr High. I had one class in those classrooms. There was no big legal to do about it. There was also after school religious clubs that met on campus. Again, no legal big deal. In the latter two matters there was likely no big legal issue because no atheists/secular humanists protested about it.
Once again conservatives celebrate over crumbs from the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile I myself blocked the soft porn of the commercialize PJ Media, with its hosting of adclick.g.doubleclick.net ads.
