The La Farge, Wis., School District in Wisconsin agreed to stop including prayers at athletic banquets and other school-sponsored events after getting a May 7 letter from Staff Attorney Sam Grover.
FFRF had learned that a pastor invited to speak at La Farge High School's athletic banquet delivered a lengthy Christian prayer. "School events must be secular to protect the freedom of conscience of all students," Grover wrote.
An attorney for the district told Grover on May 8 that there would be no prayers at future school-sponsored events.
