Jaffree) In 1992 the Court found that prayer in public school graduation ceremonies viiolates the establishment clause and is therefore unconstitutional (Lee v. Weisman) In 2000, the Court ruled that student-led prayers at public school football games violates the establishment clause and is unconstitutional (Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe) Has the Prohibiting of School Prayer Denied Citizens "the Free Exercise Thereof"?
