Supreme Court bars official school prayers in United States
The ruling, written by Justice Hugo Black, declares that state sponsored prayers in public schools violate the First Amendment. Dissent by Justice Stewart notes the court’s own opening prayers. Some states oppose the ruling while others see it as a broader challenge to religious observances in schools. The decision affects recitations of prayers, Bible readings, carols, and plays across districts.
