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.
