Morning prayers have been stopped in the Washington Parish School System in Louisiana.
A local resident alerted FFRF that Franklinton High School’s student chaplain had been leading the school in prayer each morning before the Pledge of Allegiance.
FFRF Legal Fellow Brendan Johnson sent a letter to Superintendent Frances Varnado asking that the district immediately cease scheduling this prayer as it constitutes illegal religious endorsement on the part of the school.
The complainant has informed FFRF that the daily prayers have stopped.
