Complaint Ends Teacher Prayer in Indiana District

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP): A western Indiana school district is telling teachers and other employees they can't lead prayers during school-sponsored event. The decision by the Vigo County School Corp. in Terre Haute follows a complaint made to the Freedom from Religion Foundation in May about a teacher leading a prayer to start a school awards banquet. District superintendent Dan Tanoos says he'll continue to allow student-led prayers at events. He says he has previously allowed the teacher-led prayers but has to live within the law.
