School prayer stopped in Alabama school again (October 26, 2015)

A third Prattville Primary School teacher has been stopped from praying with students after FFRF Staff Attorney Sam Grover ensured that two praying teachers at the school were educated on the Constitution in February. FFRFā€™s local complainant reported in September that a third teacher was also praying with students before lunch.

ā€œNeedless to say, we are concerned about how quickly Prattville Primary has had this same issue resurface,ā€ Grover wrote to the Autauga County School Districtā€™s attorney. ā€œGiven the districtā€™s earlier representation that Prattville Primary administrators had addressed this issue, we would expect all school employees to be aware of their obligation to remain neutral on matters of religion.ā€

Attorney James R. Seale wrote back to FFRF on Oct. 26. The principal ā€œaddressed your concerns with the staff at Prattville Primary School,ā€ wrote Seale. ā€œI trust that your concerns will have been resolved and I do not anticipate you will receive any additional complaints.ā€
