Biden admin's reliance on overturned 'Lemon test' leaves sour taste with religious liberty group
Fox News
An attorney with First Liberty Institute expressed concern to Fox News Digital about the Biden administration's latest guidance regarding religious expression in public schools.
"The purpose of this updated guidance is to provide information on the current state of the law concerning constitutionally protected prayer and religious expression in public schools," the DOE said. The guidance stipulated that school employees may neither encourage nor discourage private prayer or other religious activity, though they are permitted to engage in private prayer themselves.

Keisha Russell, counsel at the Plano-based First Liberty Institute, praised the guidance for reflecting the Supreme Court precedent established in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, a landmark case involving their client Joe Kennedy, a Washington state high school football coach.
