Supreme Court bans daily school prayer under constitution
The court ruled that even non compulsory prayers in public schools violate the First Amendment. In the same term, justices struck down part of California health code on narcotics addiction, clarified an obscenity test, and allowed magazines deemed unsuitable yet not obscene to stay in circulation. Justice Stewart authored the prayer decision, noting government endorsement of religious functions is improper. Justice Hartlan concurred on the seniority and job protection ruling during plant relocation. The New Hyde Park New York board of education had adopted the Legends prayer to accompany the Pledge of Allegiance.
