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)
