The Supreme Court opens its new term next week with several religion-related cases on its schedule. One involves a town’s rules for regulating church signs. Another asks whether a company could refuse to hire a Muslim woman because she wore a head scarf. And this coming Tuesday (October 7), the court will consider whether a Muslim prison inmate has the religious freedom to grow a beard, which the prisoner says his religion requires.

Watch correspondent Tim O’Brien report on the prison beard case.
