Supreme Court Bars Forced Bible Reading in Schools
The Supreme Court ruled 8 to 1 that public schools may not require Bible reading or the Lord's Prayer as part of classroom exercises. The decision, reflecting First Amendment neutrality, affects Maryland and Pennsylvania cases and signals limits on state sponsored religious observances in schools. Justice Stewart dissented, warned of artificial disadvantages to religion, while Justice Clark stressed objective secular study may be permissible. The ruling overturns a Maryland Court finding and upholds a Philadelphia district court decision striking down Pennsylvania’s required opening exercises.

Mixed Reaction Greets Ruling on Bible Reading in Schools
Report on reactions to the 1963 Supreme Court decision banning Bible reading and the Lord's Prayer in public schools shows broad viewpoints. National Council of Churches praised the ruling while Fundamentalists opposed it and Catholics voiced alarm. Jewish groups largely favored the decision. Some people were indifferent, saying “I couldn’t care less.” The council warned churches against overreliance on state support to fulfill religious missions. United Presbyterian leaders supported the ruling’s emphasis on family and church responsibility for religious instruction.
