A federal magistrate has recommended that prayers referencing Jesus and other sectarian deities made before meetings of the Forsyth County Commissioners are unconstitutional. The decision by Magistrate Judge Trevor Sharp was in favor of the American Civil Liberties Union, which filed the lawsuit against Forsyth County on behalf of two Forsyth County residents Janet Joyner and Constance Blackmon.
The county was represented by the Alliance Defense Fund, which defended the county at no charge. The recommendation now goes to a federal judge.
