Guest Ellory Schempp discusses how his complaints as a
16-year-old about devotional bible reading and prayer in his
Pennsylvania public school turned into the landmark 1963 Supreme
Court decision, Schempp v. Abington, ending such practices
in the United States. The interview includes audio clips of his
father, the late Ed Schempp, reminiscing about the lawsuit. The
show includes a look at what's wrong with "The National Day of
Prayer," music and Dan Barker's "Pagan Pulpit" on why nothing fails
like prayer. The weekly show is hosted by Dan Barker and Annie
Laurie Gaylor, co-presidents of the Freedom From Religion
Foundation. (MP3, 44 min, 20.4 MB)
