Question 828 • Career Explorations A

In Santa Fe District v. Doe, the court ruled that student-led prayer at a school football game failed the "Lemon Test” because it was "too entangled.” What does this mean?

Answer
T
The prayer was too close to a Catholic tradition, and the majority of students practiced another religion.
T
The students might have been pressured by peers to pray, leading to bullying.
T
The games were too closely related to an official school activity, showing religious support.
T
The coach may have instructed the students to pray, making it a condition of their team membership.

Explanation

“Entanglement” concerns how closely the government is involved with or connected to religious activity. The football game was a school-sponsored event, so allowing prayer as part of it could make the school appear to support religion. That matches choice C, which links the prayer to an official school activity; it does not mean the prayer was specifically Catholic or required by the coach.
