Ravitch (U. of Orlando School of Law) argues that current legal discourse, which centers around First Amendment rights, underestimates the ways in which school prayer fosters discrimination against religious minorities and dissenters. He cites recent incidents of intimidation, harassment, and violence towards religious minorities and those who oppose religious observance in schools and evaluates civil rights principles and anti-discrimination laws for an alternative approach.
