Rules Bible From Schools Declares Bible Prayers In Class Unconstitutional
The Illinois supreme court voids daily religious exercises in public schools ruling that reading from the Bible, reciting prayers, and singing hymns amount to worship. Justice Dunn wrote the decision reversing a lower court ruling in a Winchester case brought by Catholic residents of Scott County. The court holds that such compulsory acts violate the free exercise of religion and that instruction on disputed doctrinal matters is inherently sectarian.
