Among the flurry of significant decisions made by the Supreme Court in the final days of its term was a 6-3 ruling in favor of a former Washington state public high school football coach who led his players in prayer. Was this case simply a matter of free speech, or does it signal a potentially deeper shift?

Roosevelt recently published his latest book, The Nation That Never Was.
