SCENARIO. On the night of the Central Valley High School football championship, the coach gave his team a last-minute pep talk in the Bulldogs' locker room. He then led the team in a prayer, as he traditionally did before each athletic event in order to prepare them "spiritually" as well as athletically. Richard Nelson, a student, felt uncomfortable reciting the prayer because he was an atheist. He mentioned his dis-comfort to the coach who responded that Richard should simply stand in silence or feel free to leave the room while his teammates prayed together.

What would "fix" this scenario from an Establishment Clause point of view?

Group of answer choices

the players electing one of their own to give the prayer

the coach conducting prayers from all the students' religious traditions

the coach merely allowing the players to pray on their own

. the coach prohibiting players from praying at any time

none of these
