A. The student body of Lakewood High School, a public school, took a vote. By a vast majority, they voted to

conduct a student-led prayer over the public address system of their football stadium before the kick-off of

each home game. They elected Paul, the student-body president, to conduct the non-denominational prayer.

Jane, an atheist, objected. She was neither required to participate, nor punished for refusing. Nonetheless,

Jane believes the public prayer itself to be unconstitutional.

What right is being violated and which Amendment from the Bill of Rights would offer protection against such

a violation?
