Court Rules Out Lord's Prayer Bible Reading
The Supreme Court ruled that daily opening devotions in public schools using the Lord's Prayer and Bible reading are unconstitutional. Justice Tom C. Clark delivered the opinion, 8 to 1 with Justice Potter Stewart dissenting, citing neutrality of government in religious matters and First and Fourteenth Amendments. The case, brought by Madalyn Murray and William Murray III, challenged a 1905 Baltimore rule requiring daily Bible reading or Lord's Prayer. The ruling reflects prior New York decisions and cites the colonial origins of the practice.
