When Did Acknowledging God Become Inappropriate in Public Spaces? A First Amendment Inquiry
The fight over public prayer has less to do with piety than with power. Who speaks for the state, who speaks as an individual, and where the line runs between the two.

A middle school principal once told me that the hardest decision she made had nothing to do with test scores or hiring. It was a flag. The school had always displayed the US flag in the lobby. After a heated community debate around political signage in classrooms, she pulled the flag for a week while the staff drafted a policy. The phones lit up. Half the callers accused her of politics. The other half said they felt safer without what they saw as a divisive symbol. That we
