Ninth Circuit Ruling on Religious Music In Schools Stands

[Cynthia Foster]

The U.S. Supreme Court deferred to a Ninth Circuit ruling that a school district is allowed to veto a piece of religious music a school intended to play at its graduation ceremonies.

The Ninth Circuit had said that a Washington state school's decision to keep its graduation ceremony secular did not violate the students' rights. SCOTUS agreed and declined to take up the appeal.
