Post Court Of Appeals Denies Prayer Ruling

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday vacated a lower court ruling against the Tangipahoa Parish School Board over prayers at board meetings, saying the plaintiffs didn't show they had standing to file the suit.

The appeals court, in an 8-7 split decision, also remanded the case back to the lower court with instructions to dismiss the case brought by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of two public school students and their father.
