The court on Monday backed a Washington state public high school football coach who was suspended by a local school district for refusing to stop leading Christian prayers with players on the field after games.
On June 21, it endorsed taxpayer money paying for students to attend religious schools under a Maine tuition assistance program in rural areas lacking nearby public high schools.
On May 2, it ruled in favor of a Christian group that sought to fly a flag emblazoned with a cross at Boston city hall under a program aimed at promoting diversity and tolerance among the city's different communities.
The court's conservative justices, who hold a 6-3 majority, in particular have taken a broad view of religious rights.

Biased supreme court ruled against government officials trying to avoid violating first amendment prohibiting government endorsement of any religion. There is reason why supreme court shouldn't be eroding constitutional separation of church and state. Good governments don't have backwards ideology ruling over sensible policy.
