Use of Star Spangled Banner as school prayer ruled illegal
Albany AP report says the Star Spangled Banner cannot be used as an official school prayer but may be sung as the national anthem in public schools. Commissioner James E. Allen Jr. allows periods of silence for meditation and teaching about religions, while cautioning that teaching religion itself is unconstitutional. The ruling was issued after the Supreme Court decision banning official prayers, guiding school boards on permissible conduct. The Hicksville Board of Education had designated the song’s last stanza as a school prayer, a move Allen says is not permissible.
