"A federal appeals court has ruled that New York City can ban churches from using public school facilities for Sunday worship services and does not violate free speech.
Thursday's 2-1 decision by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan overturned a lower court ruling that allowed the Bronx Household of Faith to hold services in a public school.
