Name: Of Angel Wings and Hurricanes: When Court Mandates and Community Values Collide
ID: m14299
Language: English (en)
Summary: In this case study the author explores legal, ethical, leadership and community issues arising from the banning of prayer before football games in Alabama past and present. The modern legal history of the elimination of a long-held tradition in many Alabama communities is brought up-to-date. The author explores the myriad issues of ethics, school and community leadership that a school or district leader must inevitably face when choosing to abide by court decisions that fly in the face of community values. A set of discussion questions are included to stimulate ongoing exploration of the issues of leadership and legality.
