The issue of prayers at school graduations and ball games has also been addressed by the Supreme Court as recently as 2000 in Santa Fe v. Doe. What is the stance of the Court in regard to prayers at such events where attendance is voluntary?

  b. The prayers are allowed because these events are attended by more adults than minors.
  c. The Court failed to rule on the specific issue of prayer but discouraged it because of the public nature of the event.
