Brief History of School Prayer and the Supreme Court

In 1963, the Court found Bible reading over the school intercom unconstitutional.  (Abington School District v. Schempp) and decided that forcing a child to participate in Bible reading and prayer unconstitutional (Murray v. Curlett)

In 1985, the Court found that state law enforcing a moment of silence in schools had a religious purpose and is therefore unconstitutional (Wal lace v. 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"?
