Official Adoption of Anthem as Prayer Declared Illegal
New York state education commissioner ruled that using the Star-Spangled Banner as a school prayer is illegal while singing or reciting it as the national anthem is allowed. Periods of silence for meditation may replace spoken prayers. Teaching about religion may occur but teaching religion is unconstitutional. Hicksville Board had designated the anthem’s last stanza as a prayer, which Allen deemed illegal.
